Connect and edit existing PHP web scraper/scraping script to connect to MySQL database in Magento and CentoOS/Apache

Hi all, We have 2 websites: [login to view URL] << Custom PHP website [login to view URL] << Magento CE 1.8.1 based This project will update products on both of our websites. What you need to do: 1) Connect an existing PHP script (product scraper, JSON based) to our MySQL databases. At present, the script is meant to scrape all product data in full. 2) Update the script to be run only as an update (i.e. do not scrape all product info but only scrape price changes and stock level changes or only add products to our database that do not exist yet) 3) Create an ADMIN page on [login to view URL] and on [login to view URL] where: a) we can run the script to scrape all product details in full (like what it is designed to do now) b) we can run the script only to perform product updates (i.e. scrape only products that are not in the database, update prices and stock levels for existing products in our database + anything else you might suggest). The idea here is to run the script a lot faster. 4) Enable multi threading so that the script runs a lot faster. Use of proxies is preferred. There are over 100,000 products that we are trying to scrape so we need to bring the running time of the scraper down to under 2 days. 5) Allow us to archive products that are no longer in the data feed being scraped (i.e. the item has been removed from the supplier website). So we need to archive it in our database (not remove it as we still need a record of it), so that clients do not buy the item anymore. 6) Install any additional PHP modules on our server if need be to make the above work. 7) Set up crons to do automatic updates 8) Set a 'date stamp' to identify when a product has last been updated 9) + other ideas (this will determine the good versus the bad developer - we are after someone who has plenty of experience) What we have: [login to view URL] 1) Magento online store, running CE 1.8.1 2) MySQL database 3) CentOS dedicated server will full root access (i.e. cPanel, FTP, MySQL, phpmyadmin etc) 4) PHP script that scrapes products from a 3rd party website [login to view URL] 1) Custom PHP online store 2) MySQL database 3) PHP script that scrapes products from a 3rd party website 4) Shared server with most access (i.e. FTP, phpmyadmin, MySQL) Who you are: 1> Good feedback on Freelancer 2> Good project completion on Freelancer 3> Know web scraping, PHP, MySQL, Apache, CentOS and Magento.
