no you don't ask for much. the question is 'any chance *i* can easily...' to
which the response is yes. so no, you aren't asking for much. as for writing
it for you, that's another story.

you need to learn the preg functions and write a regular expression that
catures html tags such as src= and href=, etc. once you get your matches,
get the contents using file_get_contents. it looks like you're either
screen-scraping or hacking...either way, there are tons of examples of the
regex you'll need. just google 'php screen scraping'.
