Simple Page Scraper

You will be creating a set of functions to create data in a mysql table from html served by a web server. Curl, mysql, php5 are required for this project. If possible, use the DOM model and not regular expressions. Prototype application will accept a number url entered by the user (example): 424615 and will call a url: [login to view URL]<424615> and will correctly add/update information from the tickets table into a mysql database. my sql database contains the following table: TABLE event_tix Fields: VendorID (always '1') EventID, (Number that user entered) Section, (Char) Row, (Char) Qty, (Integer) TixID (Char) DO NOT CREATE DUPLICATES, UPDATE WITH CURRENT VALUES if VendorID=1 and EventID= and Section and Row have the same value as the new information, update the quantity, price and TixID values. Those values will come from the row's of data found in the HTML source (one record shown below) <tr class=\"ticketsTableRow\"><td class=\"tixsectioncell\"><span onmouseover=\"sendHighlightSection( \'118138\');\">Standing Room Only</span></td><td class=\"tixrowcell\">sro</td><td class=\"tixqtycell\">2</td><td class=\"tixpricecell\">$765.00 <span class=\"each\">each</span></td><td class=\"tixtimecell\"><a href=\"?ticket_id=106628122\" title=\"View Details\">View Details</a></td></tr> Where Section='Standing Room Only' Row, (Char) = 'sro' Qty, (Integer) = 765.00 TixID (Char)='?ticket_id=106628122' I am listing this as an upper cap of $100 - the code should be very simple to create give that the data is *always* in this format. Check the source code of the example url given. If an invalid event ID is entered, functions must exit gracefully.
