How can I extract parts from website with PHP
Hi guys,
I need to get some data once or twice a week from different websites . I usually do this by hand but these websites have way too much information displayed so I thought it would be easier to make a script that runs with a cron job that fetches me exactly what I want and list them for me on a PHP page. I did something alike like 10 years ago but my coding skills are quite rusted so I would appreciate a hand here.
One of the sites list the information like this:
What I would like to get is something like this:
or something alike in an array or something so I can even make a DB out from this. How can be done?
Thanks in advance!

One of the sites list the information like this:
<table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#cccccc">
<tr>
<td><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="2" bordercolor="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<p align="center">
<img src="/images/classes/49.png" alt="Item 1 Number 49" width="40" height="40">
<img src="/images/classes/118.png" alt="Item 2 Number 118" width="40" height="40">
<img src="/images/classes/491.png" alt="Item 3 Number 491" width="40" height="40">
<img src="/images/classes/24.png" alt="Item 4 Number 24" width="40" height="40">
</p>
</td>
</tr>
......
What I would like to get is something like this:
Item 1 - 49 - 49.png
Item 2 - 118 - 118.png
Item 3 - 491- 491.png
Item 4 - 24- 24.png
or something alike in an array or something so I can even make a DB out from this. How can be done?
Thanks in advance!
