Hi All,

For a project at work I'm trying to use php scrape to get the recently added titles to a library catalog system. (See here)

However the only problem is the recently added section seems to load after everything else. I guess suggesting some other script is calling for this information hence the delay. The problem is when I use file_get_contents to retrieve the information from [url]http://encore.exeter...g=eng&suite=def[/url], all i get is loading suggestions.

I'm new to php scraping so any help is welcome.

Thanks

    That's because that website is using AJAX to query/retrieve the results from the server once the page loads.

    Either mimic the AJAX calls to the server that actually retrieves data, or contact the webmaster to see if there is a more computer-friendly format/API available.

      Classic Catalogue, link at top, looks to be more scrapable (if that is a word).
