How to parse and process HTML with PHP?

i want to grab certain values off a website when a username is put into an input box and then store these in a variable so i can use in a part of my website

the information i am trying to scrape is from the runescape highscores http://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore/heroes.ws

now when a username is entered the url changes to this (username is Paulrat3) http://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore/compare.ws?user1=Paulrat3

i want to grab the attack, strength, defence, constitution, magic, range, prayer and summoning levels and maybe store them in variables such as

$attack $strength

etc

how can i do this?

I suggest using Goutte.

This is a web scraping tool written in PHP. Sounds like it would be perfect for your needs.
