Mini Search engine help...

Post by Shinda »

So I was looking into doing a simple little search engine, which basically searchs multiple message boards and then display's the top ten results.

I have several different message boards, of various makes, (phpbb, invision board, and phorum). The forum search results are submitted using a the GET method so parsing the page is not a problem. (Just edit the GET data in the url string and parse the page like any other html page).

Problem is with the phpBB and invision boards, since the POST method is used to submit keywords/data. Now I know I can use PHP to submit the post data to the various phpbb forums, but is there a way to after sending the data to load the results of these pages?

Thanks in advance,
- Shinda
