You will want to read up on the CURL library and the term scrape or
google for curl and scrape, that should give you hits on what you want
to do.
Scrape sounds kinda bad and if you don't have permission to read
someones data off a page you could get in trouble. Google has
information aout what you can collect from their pages and for what
purpose.
