    <p>First, use the API to scrape the wikitext as JSON. Do that by fetching this URL:</p> <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&amp;page=Nick_Diaz&amp;prop=wikitext&amp;format=json </code></pre> <p>Then, assuming the result is in <code>$data</code>, do this:</p> <pre><code>$data = json_decode($data, true); $data = $data['parse']['wikitext']['*']; </code></pre> <p>Now all the wikitext is in <code>$data</code>. It just so happens that the total is calculated from five fields:</p> <ul> <li><code>mma_kowin</code> &mdash; Knockout</li> <li><code>mma_subwin</code> &mdash; Submission</li> <li><code>mma_decwin</code> &mdash; Decision</li> <li><code>mma_dqwin</code> &mdash; Disqualification</li> <li><code>mma_otherwin</code> &mdash; Other</li> </ul> <p>You can parse these fields out pretty easily with a regular expression:</p> <pre><code>/^\s*\|\s*mma_([a-z]+)win\s*=\s*(\d*)/m </code></pre> <p>You'll want to find all matches of that regular expression in <code>$data</code>. The first group will be <code>ko</code>, <code>sub</code>, etc. The second match will be a string representation of the number or an empty string for zero. Then you'll want to add all of those numbers up, and bam, you've got it.</p> <p>All together now:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $data = file_get_contents("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&amp;page=Nick_Diaz&amp;prop=wikitext&amp;format=json"); $data = json_decode($data, true); $data = $data['parse']['wikitext']['*']; preg_match_all('/^\s*\|\s*mma_([a-z]+)win\s*=\s*(\d*)/m', $data, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER); $wins = array(); foreach($matches as $match) { $wins[$match[1]] = (int)$match[2]; } ?&gt; &lt;h1&gt;Nick Diaz's Wins&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;table border="1"&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;Means&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th&gt;Wins&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Knockout&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $wins['ko']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Submission&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $wins['sub']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Decision&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $wins['dec']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Disqualification&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $wins['dq']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Other&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $wins['other']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Total&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;?php echo array_sum($wins); ?&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COHey man, here is what I've got so far. `$data = http_get("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&page=Nick_Diaz&prop=wikitext&format=json"); $data = json_decode($data); $data = $data['parse']['wikitext']; $result = preg_match("/^\s*\|\s*mma_([a-z]+)win\s*=\s*(\d*)/", $data);` I keep getting 'Fatal error: Call to undefined function http_get() on line 100'

    2. CO@ChristianPage: [`http_get`](http://www.php.net/http_get) is part of [`pecl_http`](http://pecl.php.net/package/pecl_http), which [is not installed by default](http://www.php.net/http.install). You'll have to find some other way to fetch it. ([`file_get_contents`](http://www.php.net/file_get_contents) works well when [`allow_url_fopen`](http://www.php.net/filesystem.configuration#ini.allow-url-fopen) is enabled; [`curl`](http://www.php.net/curl) is another, more explicit option.)

    3. CO@ChristianPage: Also, I'd use single quotes rather than double quotes to quote the regular expression and [`preg_match_all`](http://www.php.net/preg_match_all) will match all them at once, which is more convenient than a bunch of separate [`preg_match`](http://www.php.net/preg_match) calls.

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
