PHP parsing a website

how to's needed..

[SubXO]

I've scoured the net looking for a tutorial on how to parse a webpage but I've come up short handed. Can anyone provide me with some tips on how to get started? Thank you all!

You can accomplish this with built-in functions, but you'll be much better off if you have the CURL library installed:

Thank you for the quick response. Can you provide me more information with the built-in functions? it IS possible to write it myself right?

Also, can anyone share an example of a regex that will strip out all unwanted page content (except for a list of items)

Thanks!
