    You can scrape any page with file_get_contents($url) in php. Then format it your own way and save it using file_put_contents($file).

    It's a little too complicated for a beginning programmer to do. Best to build up for knowledge a bit before attempting it.

    Get to know regular expressions well, as they'll help you scrape the data you're looking for. The www.php.net documentation will be enough to get familiar with the concepts.
