I'm looking for some assistance in scraping the content off a particualr website so that I can create a mysql database of information.

Anyone got any good guides or who fancies offering some assistance in doing this?
 
That vaguely sounds like a plan but I have no experience at all on this.

Are there any guides or tutorials that you can recommend?

Maybe the easiest thing will be to pay someone to knock this out for me?
 
This is the kind of thing that I am looking to scrape.

I'd like to grab each individual product page from say this category http://www.warehouseexpress.com/category/basecategory.aspx?cat03=3036 and then read write to a db all of the details including the tabs for stuff like images / reviews / specification etc. I am especially interested in grabbing th individual specification elements.

When scraping images do you just grab the URL or could you grab the image itself?

Does that sound like a difficult job?
