To whoever see this,

Just out of curiosity, is there any way we could copy one website's content into our own database "automatically" without saying copy and paste MANUALLY whole day in that website?? Is there any "way(s)" to do so??

I 've do some search on google..there's possibly some software company such as http://www.velocityscape.com, http://www.ficstar.com, and http://www.unitminer.com.

Other then this softwares on d market is there any other method?


Best Regards,
Calverstine

I can't quite grasp what you mean...

Do you mean copy an entire database's contents/structure to another database? Yes, possible, if you have adequate permissions on both databases.

Do you mean copy an entire website's files across to your web server? Yes, possible, if the remote server only has static webpages or files that grant the public read permissions.

You will have to elaborate a bit more for us to help you properly.

Very Happy

As the saying goes, I don't have any database username and password.. nor do i have permission to access the database's content.

This ways works around, saying i just copy and paste the website's content without having to have their database permission..

Yesterday i downloaded a software called web scraper+ that allows people to have content extracted from website without, i mean WITHOUT the access privilege to the database content.

Such example that webscraper has successfully extract information from is : http://www.yahoo.com, now i am trying on a targeted website name as http://www.goarticle.com-->Advertising-->I will repeat this add again by b Hirst.. can i be able to extract the information from the website???

Hope to heard somebody's opinion.
