Re: web crawling PHP?

The problem with what you are trying to do is that sites that work this way, eg., hotel bookings, flights, etc, have agreed to make their data available at a central point, to which users subscribe, and you pick it up from there.

It would be very difficult if not impossible to just pick some sites at random and hope to extract the kind of data you are looking for.

This sounds like a uni project?
