First of all, hello to everyone. Secondly, I have some questions about a script I want to make. I assume there are people that heard of the Folding @ Home project. In case you have, you probably know that the users can use a code to put a "Badge" in forum signatures, wich is actually an image containing the user's folding data. What I want to do is make a Badge Generator. The problem is how to get the user's data from the F@H website, so, when a user enters his/her User ID, the script will create an image with hist folding details: User Name, Team Name, Points, Work Units. As an example: My user ID is 1937864, and the link to my Stats page is something like: On that page you can find all the stats I want to take: User name, team, points, WU's, etc. My question is: Is there a way to grab all that data from that page? P.S.: I can give a link to a Badge Generator in case anyone wants to see how it works. P.P.S.: Sorry for the spelling, I'm not english / american.
Well, the problem is that I want to make a PHP script that does that automatically, because I don't want to do that by hand for every Badge that is created. I heard somewhere that what I want to do is called "Grabbing". Can anyone explain what that actually is, and how can I use it?
