  • Google baby Google! You might even find your answer on a page called [stackoverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2296465/web-crawler-parsing-php-javascript-links) – afuzzyllama Apr 23 '11 at 14:21
  • This is a very broad question. The process of fetching content from a web site is called "scraping" and has some answers e.g. here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2523096/how-do-i-screen-scrape-a-website-and-get-data-within-div to do it frequently, you indeed want to look into cron jobs. – Pekka Apr 23 '11 at 14:21
  • It may just be the user does not use English as a first language. ;) – Chuck Burgess Apr 23 '11 at 14:21

You can use cURL to get the webpage and parse it with SimpleXML or simple_html_dom
