    What I am trying to do is take information from another website and then save it into a data table in MySQL for later use or for a backup. What I can't seem to come up with is a way to do this.I am new to the art of making websites and just recently started learning PHP, MySQL and JS so I am not forsure how I should do it. Can anyone give me a general idea on what language would be best to accomplish this?

    Everytime I push "Edit" it tells me "Not Found" so here goes a shameless bump...I am going to use the script to build my sites anime database and I need to either be able to get a script that can add links from sites to mine or have a working and fresh database. If you have either PM me and we can set something up.

    If you want to scrape links from other sites, use libcurl (the cURL library). It's a PHP library, and makes getting data from other sites easier.

    Once you have the data, it's just a string, so you can insert it into your database.
