You won't be able to access someone else's database remotely. Or, at least you shouldn't be able to, and if you do, they'll be thinking to take you to Fulton, 😉 (whereabouts in MO are you, anyway? 🙂 )
What I think you are asking is: can I read/parse the content of http://wherever and use it on my page?
That too depends. For starters, see if you are allowed to do a remote [man]fopen/man ...
$point=fopen("http://yahoo.com", 'r');
if ($point) {
$data=fread($point, 10000);
} else {
echo "couldn't open remote url!";
}
echo $data;
The next step would be to somehow analyze the content of the data received. It might be possible using simple string functions like [man]stristr/man or [man]substr[/man], etc., but you might be better off with regular expressions...
