#Scrapt A PHP library for making webscraping a bit easier.

##Example Scraper

$page = Scrapt::get('https://somepbxcompany.com/');
if ($page->contains('Please log in to access this page')) {
	$form = $page->getForm();
	$form->uemail = PBX_PORTAL_USERNAME; // is url encoded
	$form->pwd=PBX_PORTAL_PASSWORD;
	$page = Scrapt::submit($form);
}
$report_url = 'https://somepbxcompany.com/report.php';
$report_vars = array(
	'date'=>'2011-02-01'
);
$page = Scrapt::get($report_url, $report_vars);

Design Goals

• By default, look like a human browser.
• Support Mechanize-style page access.
• Manage page caches intelligently. Prevent server clobbering.

Future Ideas

• On the Mac, integrate phpOSA to remote Fake.app.
• On other platforms, remote Selenium
• Support proxy banks.
• Support multi-node scraping, with coordination and job distribution.
• Allow a scraping session to be paused without having to start over.
