    The is an external site which has some links I want to extract. They are inside of divs with the class name "event-title".
     <div class="event-text">
    Code (markup):
    How can I do that? What's the simplest way?

    Thanks!

    They have simple to follow instructions on the site.

    <?php
$url = 'http://www.something.com/page.html';
$html =  new SimpleXmlElement($url, null, true);

$content = $html->xpath("//div[@id='event-text']");

?>
    PHP:
    The contents of the div (the links i guess) will be stored in $content
