Yeah, I was thinking more of the HTML way.  With the help you two and some
google searching I see that it will be difficult to pull out specific areas
of a site.

For example ---
The news headlines from yahoo.com

I've got a code that grabs that now.  I just need to tweak it a bit to get
the data to look presentable.

<?php

//Define the variables
$url = "";
$start = '';
$end = '';

//Opens the file and pulls out the requested info
$openfile = fopen($url, "r");
$file = fread($openfile, 50000);
$data = eregi("$start(.*)$end", $file, $siteinfo);

//Make it look pretty
$siteinfo[1] = strip_tags($siteinfo[1], "<img>");

fclose($openfile);
echo "$siteinfo[1]";

?>
