Why is that? Acquaint yourself with PHP's cURL extension and regular expressions and you can write a spider easily.Archy wrote:Hmm, as far as I know, you cant make one in PHP, you would need a programming language such as C#.
I haven't been able to get a version of my spyder that can spawn multiple versions of itself. I'm only able to spyder one site at a time.patrikG wrote:Why is that?

Would be very interested in learning about a web-application you can't build in PHP, but only in C# or any other language.
Don't underestimate PHP's capabilities.
