is it possible to have php go to another website, e.g. this one, and get specific parts of it like get the titles of a=the latest 10 threads on the HG&P section?
i ask as i visit many forums but only sections of them and would be easier to have a site that just lists like an rss feed the certain parts of the forum i want, so perhaps list the titles of all the latest 10 threads, and then at another website do the same thing for another part of theres.
I have no clue how you'd even think about doing this, or even if it is a legal thing, copyright etc, though google do a similiarish thing so maybe it's ok. at a guess you'd get php to go to an address and find the div with a specifid name and then take first 10 if they are there or something.
thanks

well thats good news, i was only thinking of doing once or twice a day check as the sites don't have many new posts each day.
