Need help - new to php

Post by udlooz »

I am new to php and haven't written much - looked through the tutorials and cant find what I am looking for. Hope this is the right forum.

I have some websites that are plain old html and asp and I want to migrate to blog format. Basically what I want to do is develop a bot or spider to pull text from the html pages, and parse it to mysql, then import the link to mysql to avoid infinite loop.

Go easy on a newbie, I know this is probably pretty easy but we all gotta learn sometime, right?

Unless I misunderstood what you need, u can use httrack to copy all the link you have on your website. The software create a report for your links, copy all the links on an excel file and export/import to mysql.

Software available at: http://www.httrack.com/
