I need a simple scraper script built with php,
I want to use the script as a learning tool so will need it well commented
The urls to be scraped start at
[login to view URL]
This script will relate to a car dealers stock and will build a csv file with the following fields.
Make, Model , Year , Transmission , Fuel , Vehicle Type , Body Style , Doors , Colour , Mileage , Price , Title , Description , Images
The csv file will be saved localy (../csv/)
and the images will be saved to a local folder (../scrapedPics/GOH/)
the images in the csv file will be reference to the new location ( scr="[login to view URL])
in particular I want to know the following via comments
on initial URL loading what decisions are taken?
how do we determine if there is further pages? if so how do we loop it?
how are we selecting the links to follow?
how are we selecting the text to save to file?
how is the file built?
how are the image names collected?
how are the images copied and saved?

Can you tell me more details? then I will provide demo data for you.

Hello Dear,
HERE Ready to start!!!

Feel free ask me question if any.

Thanks
Hey there !
We're 2 developers with vast and wide knowledge in Python and scripting. We'll gladly do your project as it seems like something we can pull-off quite easily, in fact we just recently made this kind of project for someone else here - contact us if you'd like to see it.
As for your questions :
You determine the further pages by the pattern of the URL, I haven't looked thoroughly into it but I can see they all start with the same pattern and in the same HTML construction so it's easy to define them.
The text to save is up to you - but again - you follow the HTML construction and just separate it using the tags, the image names are collected by defining everything that isn't constant, etc etc - I won't explain it all now.
Bottom line though, there's no way we'll do that scale of a script for under $120 - if you want it done professionally and not made by a script kiddie - let us know.
I am ready with the job ..
Lets discuss your job in detail .then pass me a sample work so that i show my work to you.
finally we can discuss the payments as well as the milestones..
please don't hesitate to contact me,
thank you.
