You'll probably want to start with this: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/book.http.php
then if it were me I'd just use regular expressions combined with sanity checks to grab the info you're looking for off the page(s). There's no reason to parse the entire page into a DOM structure, then fiddle with it some more to get what you want out of it, when you could just use a regex (which are pretty dang quick). Hard to give anything more specific without knowing what you're looking for.
