accessing info from other website

[cabronication]

Hi,

need help on something,,, i hope i am not doing anything illegal but we are a subscriber of cisp and i am a reseller of their services

my main goal is our user will have the option to search for a list of numbers on my website (ex. www.mypage.com/listofdialup) and the users dont have to access CISP's homepage

I dont have database access to CISP instead they gave me a link (http://cisp.com/networks) where i can look up for their available numbers. SInce i dont want my clients to know that they are using CISP as well i need to hide any information that the numbers came from them.

SO what I want is that if my client will lookup for available access numbers they will open my page then
thry to search for the number either by state, area code or city, then my PHP script will run a query on
CISP page (http://cisp.com/networks) then the result will be displayed to my page.

Ive seen it run in a PERL script unfortunately i got 0 knowledge of PERL thus i dont understand the codes. I guess i dont need a finish script to do it. But if someone kind enough how it will works, u know the logic behind it..ill appreciate it a lot..

u may also access this page http://mcalester.net/mcnum.cgi it is in perl and it does not connect to a database...it just looks up to the CISP website then
when users access mcalester.net/mcnum.cgi page to search for the number the script do the searching in the CISP page...

thanks for reading my very first long post.

Not that difficult but it requires some programming skills:

1) reverse engineer their form and build one for your site. Same fields, names, etc.

2) Use [man]curl[/man] to submit your form to their site and retrieve the output html into a variable.

3) Use grapping [man]ereg[/man], [man]preg_replace[/man] to remove their header and footer on the returned table.

4) Append your header to the top and footer to the bottom of the table.

5) Display the new resulting html page.
