Retrieving information from another page

[kosstr12]

Is it possible with php to go to another page and retrieve parts of the code? For example:
Say MSN has a stock ticker, and I want to make one also. Am I able to go to the stock page, and select the number that the stock is currently at? With PHP.

Thanks,
Koss

All depends on how you code it

Implying the code is HTML yes, you could use file_get_contents, or cURL, I'm sure there are others. Then you'd want a HTML parser or regular expressions, most people recommend a HTML parser.
