Is there a way using PHP to read what's on a page to update on a different page?
Like say I want TV updates on the band D12 to put on my site. Is there a way I can incorporate the text (TV listings, times, etc) from this site [ <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.musicstation.com/cgi-bin/rotv/rotv_cgi?search_type=artist_exact&sort_by=artist&type=tv&search=206072">http://www.musicstation.com/cgi-bin/rot ... rch=206072</a><!-- m --> ] onto my site?
By the way, I'm not talking about an RSS feed becaus they don't provide it.yes there is
Look here
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://nz.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.phpit">http://nz.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.phpit</a><!-- m --> is possible for PHP to open a url and scan the HTML content...
But if you do that and output the information from one site onto another, you could very well be in breach of copyrights...*edit* don't know how what i posted got here. sorry about that. must've had multiple windows on htmlforum and replied in the wrong one. you can delete this if you're an admin.you want to screen scrape? if so then if they change there layout you will have to redo the code. personally not worth the time.
