Re: Re: Screen Scraping using PHP

I bet he means when you open up an URL and capture part of the page or the entire page and post it onto your own site. I've done that with weather.com where you capture just part of their webpage.. So basically if I wanted to know what the weather was like in Egypt, I would go to weather.com and find the URL that tells me, copy that, write a script that grabs that information from weather.com and then posts it on my site. Thus screen scraping... If that's not what he meant then I am in the dark also :) If so.. Then there you go!
