Search text on various websites

[mattastic]

Hi,

Could anyone tell me how I could use PHP to look for various pieces of text on a webpage, and then send me a notification through email if their found?

Basically I need a script that looks for a certain jobs on different websites. I need it to run once a week.

Can anyone help?

Thankyou

why don`t you try using RSS.

Every jobsite provides that files

Thanks for your reply

The page I need to search is :

http://www.uce.ac.uk/web/jobs/vacancies.htm

There is no RSS for this site.

Why don't you contact webmaster of that site, maybe he will help you.

The other way is to make (I don't now how it's called in English) "Automat" which will define what's what on that page

file_get_contents()

and you can use preg_match()

Thanks for your replies.

When I have got this script working, can I set it up as a schedule, to execute once a week?

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thankyou
