Luf,
Most of it can be done by using the $arrText=file("http://bbc.co.uk/.....";);
and examing the results. If it's XML you can use the PHP XML functions...
Just as a general pointer, I use this function to grab stuff from RSS feeds:
function getRSSfeed($intSiteID, $strWebAddress, $intWebPort,
$strWebDocument, $intMinLevel, $intSkip)
{
$simple = file("http://$strWebAddress"; .
":$intWebPort/$strWebDocument");
$p = xml_parser_create();
xml_parse_into_struct($p, $simple, $vals, $index);
xml_parser_free($p);
// Connect to database to check for existing already...
$link = mysql_connect(MYSQLHOST, MYSQLUSER, MYSQLPASS) or die("Could not
connect");
mysql_select_db(MYSQLDB) or die("Could not select database");
// Delete old items
$query = "DELETE FROM tblXXX WHERE (intSiteID=$intSiteID);";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Write Query $query failed");
$strTitle="";
$strURL="";
foreach ($vals as $index => $val)
{
if ($val["type"] == "complete" && $val["level"]>=$intMinLevel)
{
if ($val["tag"]=="TITLE") $strTitle=addslashes ($val["value"]);
if ($val["tag"]=="LINK") $strURL=$val["value"];
if ($val["tag"]=="LINK")
{
//echo "<a href=\"$strURL\">$strTitle</a><br>";
$query = "INSERT INTO tblXXX (strURL, strText, intSiteID) VALUES
(\"$strURL\", \"$strTitle\", $intSiteID);";
if ($intSkip>=0)
{
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Write Query $query
failed");
};
$intSkip+=1;
}
}
}
}
then use something like...
$intWebPort=80; $intLevels=3;
$strWebAddress="newsrss.bbc.co.uk";
$strWebDocument="/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/technology/rss.xml";
$strTitle="BBC NEWS"; $intDrop=-1;
getRSSfeed($intSiteID, $strWebAddress, $intWebPort, $strWebDocument,
$intLevels, $intDrop);
Hope this points you in the right direction.
