The long and short:
I need a php script, which will goto a number of different websites, retrieve the web page, parse the data from the page, and insert it into SQL DB.
Example:
The SQL DB contains 10 web sites.
Script will goto site 1, strip the data, enter into DB for this site.
Script will goto site 2, strip the data, enter into DB for this site.
Script will goto site 3, strip the data, enter into DB for this site.
Etc.
Each site has the same page layout. The data is stored between tags. Example:
<name>My Product Name 1<price>1.00<item>GRT1<BR>
<name>My Product Name 2<price>2.00<item>GRT2<BR>
<name>My Product Name 3<price>3.00<item>GRT3<BR>
Each site it visits, has the same tags, different data.
More details available if needed. Looking to have this project completed ASAP. Thank you.
