Pulling from other website's database

Post by moderate_php »

Hello,

My school project, in the up coming weeks, is to make a website using php that can pull information from another website's database. Can anyone tell me where to start or is this even possible...and what other programming languages are involved (if any)?

For example:
The user will go to my website, type "e books" in the search bar, then my php script will go to another website enter "e books" in their search engine. It then pulls the results from their database and copies (or adds) to my database, then finally displays the results on my website from my database.


Any help would be greatly appreciated...........Thanks

You could just use some Php script to search the data on a website. Anyway, you should have an access to the other website. It is a bit easier if you could use some examples on tutorial sites.
