Fetch a URL (with cURL)
cURL is a very useful PHP library which can be used to connect to different types of servers with different types of protocols. Here is a very basic example of its primary usage.
function fetchPage($url)
{
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$responce = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
$data =$responce;
return $data;
}
$page_data = fetchpage("www.cnn.com");
echo $page_data;
You can do the magic by using Regular Expressions on the data stored in $page_data variable.

Happy Coding :)
