Hi,
I've come across a chore that I'm not sure how to work out. Our
business uses a third party company to get prices for our site. These
prices can change frequently. But, our partner site has to contact
yet ANOTHER site to update it's pricing database so it will feed us
our prices. Yeah, I know - it's crazy, but that's the way it is, so
we deal with it. Bottom line is, I need to go and "check" the prices
of many products on our parter site so I can get the "real" current
price. That takes a lot of time. So here's what I thought to do, if
possible. Can a PHP script, when given the correct "starting" page,
automatically click through the 2 pages - parse the page somehow -
necessary to update the prices? It's just as if I were doing it, but
the script is the "browser" instead of me. I'm thinking this can be
called by a cron job. Again, I'm aware that this is an odd question
and circumstance and I 'm not sure I'm explaining myself clearly. But
if possible, this would be a REAL time saver. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
