There isn't much that you need besides www.php.net/file and www.php.net/file_get_contents
Those should get you started.

Thanks for the reply. It has been so long anyone has replied to this thread. But I have been using the Curl function now. The main problem I am facing now is to get the result eithout the hyperlinks and unmeangiful characters like ..., http://...../.
Also do you have any idea or suggestion or hints or anything to make the realsitic article from the result with different unwanted characters.
Thanks in advance!

Use www.php.net/preg_match to match the particular contents that you want from the page.
