Scrape parts of a page (php)

I'm looking to scrape an image off a website. The image changes daily. The image name however consistently starts with "product_image". How could I search for any image with that beginning, and then display it on a page, probably appending the url of the site to it as well.

Also, is it pretty simple once I pull the image to drop it in a database?

Thanks so much for any help you can give!

Hey.

Yes, you only need to add the URL of the page to the image source.
Like: http://www.example.com/images/image.jpg

Could you explain that a little better?
Don't really understand what yo mean.

re: Scrape parts of a page (php)

I'm looking to build an aggregation site which will contain 6 images from 6 different sites.

So for instance, I want to pull down the detail image from http://teefury.com. Here is the code.

This image changes everyday because the website sells a new shirt everyday, (like WOOT.com)

I want to display THAT one image... but when I pull down that chunk of code, obviously the image isn't working cause the full path isn't on there.... so how do I append the first part of the url "http://teefury.com/"

The end part of that url will change "bottom-sfl.jpg" but the first part "products_large_images" won't so that is my constant. If that makes sense...?

Thanks, hope that helps! Thanks in advance!

I guess you want to construct the correct url from the source html. Here is the script.


We are simply extracting the <img...> from the html, and appending "http://teefury.com/" after src=" . I am using regular expressions. See documentation at http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages/RE.html .

Save the script in file C:/Scripts/ImageURL.txt, and enter the following command in biterscripting


This script can also be called from a php or any other code.

Needless to say, you should acquire the web site owner's permission before referring to their web site urls from your web pages.
