Hello everyone, I am working on converting a site from ASP to PHP and I was wondering if their where any built in functions to perform screen scraping. In ASP, the XML DOM is most commonly used to accomplish this. I am thinking that there should be something to get the task done in PHP but I cant even find the correct keywords to use to search for anything like this. Anyone got some advice on what to search by or maybe a link to get some more information??http://www.carrubbers.org/scripts/php/xpath/ That might be of use to you. Doesn't require any libraries, and seems a bit more documented than most other packages.
