Hi
I would like to know if there is a tutorial on creating a PHP script to read and extract data from a html file (data set out in database table format) to convert it to csv or even sql for MySQL database.

Thanks. Pat

Depends on the structure of the HTML file. In which case, if I could answer that the HTML file was well-formed and could pass for XML I'd look at tutorials for reading and parsing XML, which many methods exist. There is also the DOM extension to PHP, and it might be just as easy to parse the data using that extension. Start with the PHP manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.dom.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.simplexml.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fputcsv.php

Then you can search Google for examples of these in action.

Regards,
Rich

Yes the files are well formed. Not sure about the xml but the html tags are the same and don't change from week to week.

Will take your advice and read up on the suggested links

Thanks Pat
