Re: Deep Linking?

Are you talking RSS? Or getting live content from sites that don't support it? Or just summaries of what they say?

Re: Deep Linking?

Yeah... way to vague for what sounds like a huge project.

Re: Deep Linking?

Apologies! for not being specific. Okay what I am looking at is basically providing links to some travelogues and linking to stories (html files) there. And no, most of the target sites do not support RSS. These are plain jane html sites.

The 'target' pages do not exactly host live content updated by the minute but rather manually updated once in a while. Here are some examples of the stories I plan to link to -

http://www.geocities.com/jamiehide/travelogues.htm
http://www.bsmotoring.com/bsm/wcms/e...vel/index.html
http://www.geocities.com/bhuniahoo/index.html


I was wondering how to make links into these pages along with a small description of the content (the first few sentences perhaps).

I just need links+summary on my page and don't want the content itself to be displayed here to avoid copyright issues. I could set up links manually but I was wondering if there was a solution when the volume of data increases.

Hope all this helps

Re: Deep Linking?

Hm. You could use PHP to to access the sites and gather the content and format it to your liking, but it would be a pain. There's really no easy way to do something like that.

Re: Deep Linking?

what you can do is just link to the page but then you make the people find it.

Re: Deep Linking?

SSL = Server Side Language. PHP or ASP?

Re: Deep Linking?

Me either I'm afraid... with Java you can put in a site's URL and rip out the page - after that I'm sure it wouldn't be so bad to parse it for the information you needed... but I'm not sure if you can do the same with PHP? Or if this would provide enough functionallity for you?

All the best - and I hope all these PHP gurus can help you!

Re: Deep Linking?

PHP would be a much better solution.
