    <p>I would recommend using cURL to actually make the call then DOM to parse. The advantage to using DOM is allowing you a little bit of leeway when it comes to changes on the website. The advantage to curl being extended flexibility and the ability to return errors. This will require quite a bit of studying on your part in order to determine the correct values to look for. The below code should get you started:</p> <pre><code>// Curl function curl($url, $post=''){ //cURL options $options = array( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =&gt; true, // return web page CURLOPT_HEADER =&gt; false, // don't return headers CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION =&gt; true, // follow redirects CURLOPT_ENCODING =&gt; "", // handle all encodings CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER =&gt; true, // set referer on redirect CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT =&gt; 500, // timeout on connect CURLOPT_TIMEOUT =&gt; 500, // timeout on response CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS =&gt; 10, // stop after 10 redirects CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST =&gt; 0, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER =&gt; 0, CURLOPT_USERAGENT =&gt; "", CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION =&gt; false, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR =&gt; $this-&gt;ckfile, // Cookies CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE =&gt; $this-&gt;ckfile, //Cookies...yum ); //Go go go! $ch = curl_init( $url ); curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options ); $output['content'] = curl_exec( $ch ); $output['err'] = curl_errno( $ch ); $output['errmsg'] = curl_error( $ch ); $output['header'] = curl_getinfo( $ch ); return $output; } </code></pre> <p>Once you have $output, you can parse with DOM. Few ways you can go about it, I recommend XPATH queries</p> <pre><code>//Create DOM $doc = new DOMDocument; @$doc-&gt;loadHTML($curl['content']); $doc-&gt;preserveWhiteSpace = false; $xpath = new DOMXpath($doc); $nodeList = $xpath-&gt;query("//div[@id='test']"); // I would recommend trying to find an element that contains the currency elements, but has an attribute that will most likely not be changed. IDs work well, sometime div classes also work. Check out http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/org.w3c.dom/xpath_GetElemByText.html foreach($nodeList as $node){ // From here you would want to select the element http://php.net/manual/en/domdocument.getelementsbytagname.php } </code></pre> <p>From there you return it. I would instead recommend parsing <a href="http://themoneyconverter.com/RSSFeeds.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://themoneyconverter.com/RSSFeeds.aspx</a></p>

    1. COThanks for reply. I guess cURL is quite powerfull tool but unfortunately I have no time for studying now. The work must be done as fast as possible. I will learn it in the future for sure.

    2. COThe studying is not for cURL, but the page you are attempting to parse. If you plan on making a reliable system, you need to fully understand the page you are attempting to parse in order to pull reliable data.

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.
