I need some ideas for doing this in my programme.

I know HTML is basically text but there is a lot of crap with it.
The web page data will be in table form.
but I have no idea how to start .... any pointers will be greatly
apprecaited

looking at the page there's just so much crap around the actual data.

Hi

The only way I can think of doing this would be looking for markers in the returned HTML that indicates the data you want is present in the string.

Then by using PHP regular expression matches and masks, pull the data out you want.

Look at preg_match() and related functions.

Hope that helps a little. Maybe someone else has another suggestion.

Have fun

create ccs page and then go into html.
do not remove labels, or any of the BEGIN END tags
eg <!-- BEGIN Grid customers -->
you dont need too much else.
