On the other hand, it isn't quite clear that you're not wanting to 'scrape' content from someone else's web page, a tricky endeavor that involves devising some regular expression to find only the part of the page you want to keep and discarding the rest. You'd need to fiddle quite a bit with that one, beginning with downloading the page into your automated system and see if it is even the same page delivered to your web browser. I have a site that uses weather and stock quotes in this way and I pray every night that they (the offsite source of the data I scrape) don't go change their format on me. I use a combination of lynx (to download and save it once every fifteen minutes or so) crontab and I think i ended up using sed to extract the data. It was an adventure to be sure. ;) I'm sure there must be better ways, there are certainly a bunch of different ways to do this but none are particularly easy. I had another site I was asked to get data from also but that site used randomized a sequence presentation to give different paragraphs (lenders in that case) top billing and there just wasn't much reason to work that hard to save the data entry person a minute a week to update both sites by hand. OTOH, if I was *hosting* both sites it would have been much easier! -m PHP Data object relational mapping generator http://www.metastorage.net/ Yahoo!
