I need a scraper that will scrape the page and dump it into a database, and then spit the content out onto my site.

Anyone know of a pre-built script (I'm no programmer) that can do this?

Preemptive strike -- YES, I do have permission to do this.

If you simply want to grab html page and save it in database for later usage then it's really easy.

you can use [php.net...] then all u need is one insert query and you're set.

thanks, but I'm not a programmer and wouldn't be able to get that to work full circle myself.

I'm looking for a complete script that will do this. And, now that you mentioned it, I really need it to place a selected portion of the page into the DB, not the whole page.
