it dosnt pretain to PHP but these forums have become like a home to me so i figured i would post the opportunity here first.

im looking for someone who would be willing to do some C++ work (paid)

i just need a simple engine that will grab data from a website and store it in a remote database. there are some twists so its not as easy as it sounds but anyone who knows what they are doing shouldnt have much troubell. Ff anyone is interested or knows someone interested please let me know. PM me or message me on one of the messengers listed in my profile.

thanks

This can be done in PHP. Don't know if theres something more advance that makes it so it must be done in C++.

Just thought I would mention that.

it can be done with php but the ammount of data it grabs its termendous. i just feel that a windows / linux based program built in C++ would be better to do the work rather then having to execute the script in a browser

I don't see why C++ would be the recommended way to go in this case..

- wget/curl to grab the data
- gnu text utilities to process the data

and some bash, php, perl script (or c++ if you insist) to glue it all together.. but run it as a "standalone" user process and not in the webservers restricted environment...
