I need a script that will get poker tournament schedules from certain poker room sites. Since I have no idea of how to do this I figured I would give this a go. They need to be updated in live time. This is an example of what I am looking for http://www.texasholdem-poker.com/schedule.php If anyone knows how to make something like this, let me know.
What exactly needs to be grabbed? Just the table or the table with all the links and the content that is linked?
Many of the online poker rooms offer xml feeds of their tournaments. Have a look on their affiliate/webmaster pages or get in contact with them. It's then just a matter of displaying them using one of the various methods. Also depends on whether you want separate listings for each poker room or you want to combine them by some way such as in the example you posted. If the latter is the case then it's a bit more complex because you will need to grab all the details from each room and then have a method of filtering and displaying what you want. Sorry, haven't been very helpful I know but I only use them as separate pages for each room and adapted existing php scripts that parse xml feeds and don't necessarily understand all the things it is doing. It just works and that was enough for me.
