kentor,
this is typically called screen-scraping. generally, one is simply looking
for all links. here is a quick example of that. the only change you'd need
to make (assuming you're using php 5) is to look for your specific link in
the results (which is in the loop). this source is from:

$sLinktext . '</a></li>';
