TalkPHP - View Single Post - Pulling values from one site as reference

How about using regular expressions? For instance, you could use this little bit of code to get the latest 5 articles from TalkPHP, as displayed on the left of the website:

php Code:

$szContent = file_get_contents('http://www.talkphp.com/forums.php');
preg_match_all('~<td class="title" valign="top">(.+?)</td>~is', $szContent, $aMatches);

foreach ($aMatches[0] as $szArticle)
{
    printf("- %s<br />\n", $szArticle);
}
