[thelist] Anyone know how to use Screen-scraper?

[Nan Harbison]

Hello gurus,

Has anyone used the free program called screen-scraper? I
can't figure out how to put it all together using PHP and
data from a MySQL database on a website.

The first problem I am having is:

A) Do I invoke screen-scraper as a server on my own
computer and then go to the website where I am going to
use the PHP pages I am creating with My SQL to scrape some
website? Or

B) do you somehow have to have screen-scraper among the
files on the website?
If option A is right, then this is not that hard, and I
understand how this is all going to work together.
Otherwise I am totally lost, I would have no idea how to
invoke it from there. I did get it running from the DOS
prompt on my computer.

TIA,
Nan
