Parsing HTML in PHP is generally a bad idea. As garbage collection in PHP is a joke, I would use a better suited tool.
I wrote a simple Java app using the Jsoup HTML parsling library, then wrote the parsed data to a flat file as JSON. Having a flat it's easy to read and import in Cake. It's of course perfectly possible to do the database step i Java. //mathias 2010/4/15 Stefano <palli...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > I've found this tool > http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/ > > I need to parse an external html page and import some data in my db. > Now this would be a great tool, and I've seen that it works out of > cakephp, but I really am not able to make a component out of it.
