If you just want a mirror of the site, any Linux distro should include
wget. "wget -r http://example.com"; will make a local mirror of the
whole example.com site.
If you want a tool to select and reformat parts of a page, XSLT might be
worth a look. It's a functional programming language which is
unfamiliar to many but is powerful and worth learning.

I want to make what in effect is a website scraper using PHP, but it isn't
obvious how this would best be done. I've tried using DOMDocument and I'm
not sure if that's the best option or not. I'd really like to use something
where I could use XPath to get the elements out that I want. Recently I
wrote a similar program in C# that I call HttpAnalyzer. Could I just use
that with PHP (i.e. call it from PHP) to get what I'm looking for? Any
suggestions?
