capturing the html of a web page?

assisting clients by eliminating duplicate data entry

[meingallsphp]

Is there a way to capture the html of a web page using PHP? We have clients who would like to have us capture data from their websites and put it in our database without their having to re-key all the data, so when they give me their url, I would like to capture the data on their pages.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thank you,

Mel

There are a number of ways to accomplish this task. If you want to do so using PHP the easiest way is to use file_get_contents() [php.net].
