ok here's the thing, I have a table in my DB (courses), and I want to fill it with data about all the courses that my school has. there's another site which has a form that let's people enter the code of the course and when they click "search" it shows results (that I want to insert into my table).
is there a way to make my code do a bunch of searchs through that site and get the results?

Jump to PostIf you want to use php for this, it would be a lot easier if the school has an api you can tap into. Did you ask about this?
Jump to PostIf they don't, be careful of using their data. It may not be allowed to be copied. They own the data, you may still need their permission to use it. I doubt that they'd give you this permission though.
One way to do this would be to use cURL.
