You can. But please don't do it. It's very outdated and bad design IMO.
Target your <iframe> name on the anchors you want to load:

I am able to get the coding of a website with file_get_contents but I want to be able to get certain values out of the html. This piece of code is always the same but the value between the html tag changes from time to time. This is the HTML Code:
<div class="cheapest-bins">
<h3>Cheapest Live Buy Now</h3>
<table>
<tbody><tr>
<th>Console</th>
<th>Buy Now Price</th>
</tr>
<tr class=" active">
<td class="xb1">XB1</td>
<td>1,480,000</td>
</tr>
<tr class="">
<td class="ps4">PS4</td>
<td>1,590,000</td>
</tr>
<tr class="">
<td class="x360">360</td>
<td>---</td>
</tr>
<tr class="">
<td class="ps3">PS3</td>
<td>2,800,000</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
How would I go about getting the: 1,480,000 .. 1,590,000 .. --- and 2,800,000?
short answer:
find a css selector library such as https://github.com/tj/php-selector
then you could grab all td:last-child elements/innerhtml
for your specific example you could just just
preg_match_all('#<td>(.*?)</td>#', $html, $matches);

To give some background, I sell Lego parts online. The order total when you place the order is based on the price of the parts you purchased, and the shipping costs.
Shipping costs vary depending on the weight of the order, and the country of shipment.
I am not a techie buff, and thats why I need some help. I know the basics, but not much else, though I'd love to learn and I've been trying around with this for days before coming here.
The source code of an order page, the only place where you can see the weight is this:
<FONT CLASS="fv">Estimated Weight of Order:</FONT></TD><TD ALIGN="RIGHT"><FONT CLASS="fv">2.17oz 61.44g</FONT>
It is the same for every single order.
So, I know where the data I want is.
What I need help with is, coding something that pulls the data out of this webpage (say it's inside a webpage called order.com/order.asp and the document contains a bunch of other data apart from the weight) and exporting a shipping price based on the weight it inputed. I don't know whether you can do this with PHP or Python, etc.
I would have on my server a... say a table with the shipping costs based on weight. Now, what I needed, would be to take that bit of data from the order.com website into my own server. (On my own server process the weight data that I took, match it with the shipping cost, pull out invoices, etc). The weight data is in the order page, always on a line like the one I posted on the question. I just read about web scraping. Maybe some PHP that looks into the order page till it finds the line with the weight, and pulls out the weight?
Many, many, many thanks for your help, and I apologize in advance if I sound too uninformed, which I am. I really need a detailed explanation.

*TL;DR*Two webpages. One is in my server and one isn't. The one that isn't in my server (order.asp), has this line:
<FONT CLASS="fv">Estimated Weight of Order:</FONT></TD><TD ALIGN="RIGHT"><FONT CLASS="fv">XX.XXoz XX.XXg</FONT>
I need something that I can put in my server, queries the weight from the page that isn't on my server (order.asp page) and matches the weight with a shipping price that I would have on my page (as a table or maybe with ifs).
There will be different order pages (order1.asp order2.asp order3.asp) with different weights. The script or whatever should do that for ea. wpage.
Thanks.
This would be the source code of an example page that I would need to take the weight of. Removed some sensitive info.

It's a little tough to write full-blown code without looking at the page you wish to scrape, but you should be able to use the following code to get what you want. The code below reads in a file called "html.txt", finds all orders in that text file, finds the total weight values in ozs and grams, and writes that data to an output file called foundWeights.txt. To run the code, just save your html in a text file called "html.txt", save the code below in a file called "findweights.py", and then put both of those files in the same folder. Then, open a shell or a terminal window, navigate to that folder, and type "python findweights.py" and momentarily a text file will appear in the same folder with your data in it.
html = open("html.txt").read()
out = open("foundWeights.txt", "w")
#split html on order number
legoOrders = html.split("Order #")
for order in legoOrders[1:]:
print order
orderNumber = order.split("<")[0]
weightString = order.split('Estimated Weight of Order:</FONT></TD><TD ALIGN="RIGHT"><FONT CLASS="fv">')[1]
splitWeightString = weightString.split(' ')
splitStringFinal = splitWeightString[1].split("<")
grams = splitStringFinal[0]
ozs = weightString.split(' ')[0]
out.write(str(orderNumber) + "\t" + str(grams) + "\t" + str(ozs) + "\n"
Outfile is tab-separated (Order #, grams, ozs):
3953198 61.44g 2.17oz
I know how to provide or modify a field with CURL curl_setopt function and to work with cookies, but what I could not find is how to modify an HTML element with CURL.
For instance, let's say I want to replace the function "submit_device_form" in below code
<div id="bottombuttons">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;">
<!-- buttons -->
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td class="separatorButton">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>Set</td>
<td>Cancel</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- fixes the width of the first column -->
<tr>
<td style="padding:0;"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="200" height="1" border="0" ></td>
<td style="padding:0;"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="360" height="1" border="0" ></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
with "submit_MY_form", a new JavaScript function included in my PHP script. How would I go for it?
I looked into the "PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser" library since it provides the setAttribute and removeAttribute functions that would allow me to do that easily, but then I miss the info on how to give it access to the page read wia CURL, so I'm stuck.
Thanks for your help,
Robert

Questions
Which parsing Technique /Parser is best for this? PHPQuery, simplehtmlparse or xpath?
I am more familiar with domDocument, xpath and php, can it be done using xPath?
if yes, what will be xPath? (I am confused as my required data is in td and td tag has no id or class information attached. Also, on the uper row, which is basically a heading row, td are ther too)
Please guide me
XPath
The following example selects the text from all the td nodes in a table row in a table:
//table/tr[position()>1]/td/text()
You will have to know one of two things if there are other tables on the page:
Gets the last table:
//table[last()]/tr[position()>1]/td/text()
Gets the third table:
//table[2]/tr[position()>1]/td/text()
Gets a table based on an attribute, in this case, when class="NormalText":
//table[#class='NormalText']/tr[position()>1]/td/text()
I've trying to submit html emails to amazon's mechanical turk using the questionform xml data scheme. I'm having issues converting the html emails into well formed html data. I just input a script to grab it from my table and print the data inside the tags of the html email, but as you can see below, it's terribly formed and will not pass to mechanical turk - I've had to send the data as htmlentities() until now and this makes it difficult for HIT workers to easily solve my issues. Here's an example of how not well formed the data is - any tips on how to send this data through mechanical turk (php) or convert it to well formed html data would be appreciated.

the Cloud</em></a><em> </em>by web evangelist Jeff Barr. Everything you
need to know about cloud computing -- and how to make it work for you --
can be found in this book. </strong>
</p>
<p>
In celebration of this release, we'll be
running a live webinar with Jeff Barr, Kevin Yank, Lucas Chan, and Louis
Simoneau. The webinar will begin at 9:00 a.m. (Australian Eastern Standard

limited, so hurry to register now for free here!
</p>
<p>
In the meantime, to get you in the mood for the wonderful world of cloud
computing, have a read through Toby Tremayne's latest addition to his
series "What Cloud Computing Can Mean for Your Business." Toby
shows you how to get started, and introduces a wide range of handy (and

</p>
<p>
Next, the other big news of the week was the release of IE9. Craig
Buckler takes a look at its interface, including some new features and
development tools of this "Beauty of the Web."
</p>
<p>
And last but not least, James Edwards has some fun with shadows for
complex shapes. He shows you how to create a fancy solution in CSS, even

<div>
Starting out, what do we need? We have to be able to communicate
with our customers and suppliers, so we need email, perhaps instant
messaging. If we have overseas or long distance clients, some kind of VOIP
phone would help to keep costs down.
</div>
<div>
We must ensure that anything we're working on is properly backed
up from the business plan to product concepts and beyond. Any loss
of data could be crucial when getting your product or service to market at
the right time. Keeping an eye on our schedule is vital to make sure
important events, tasks, and meetings are managed.<br />
</div>
<div>
There's a lot more to address, but this much is enough to get us
up and running so we can get about the business of doing business.
But if you're not an IT person and you don't know how to
setup email servers or backup systems, where do you begin?

Gmail, for example, offers free email accounts with enormous amounts of
storage, and an easy-to-use interface. Your email can be accessed from
anywhere, you never have to delete as everything can be archived, and
backups are taken care of for you. The only issue is that you may want to
avoid sending emails to a big potential client from an anonymous, free
Gmail account; to make a proper impression, you need to be able to have
your own email address under your company name.
</div>
<div>
Google can still help you here, though; you can actually use the Gmail
system with your own domain name. As long as you have a <a
mce_href="http://sitepointcom.cmail2.com/t/y/l/cvkit/ddktkrydd/o"
href="http://sitepointcom.cmail2.com/t/y/l/cvkit/ddktkrydd/o">domain</a>, you can purchase a
Google Apps for Business account for the trifling sum of US$50 a year,
which lets you transfer your email hosting to Google's servers.
It's a very simple process, and once done you have full IMAP
access to your email from anywhere in the world, with a guarantee of
availability and uptime that few can compete with certainly not in a
small business.
</div>
<div>
The cost increases as you add more email accounts, but it's still
less than you'd pay to host a server with your own email software on
it. You can set up a normal email client like Outlook or Apple mail to use
the server, or use the user-friendly Gmail interface on the Web. This
means that no matter what happens, you'll always have access to email and
the ability to send from your own email address, even if your personal
computers fail. There are more great benefits to using Google Apps, but
we'll explore those in the next article. For now, check out <a

EDIT: Just changed it to fix the issues below, and it's still not passing the validation test - any additional steps I should take/try?
It is not that badly formed. Just call quoted_printable_decode() on it first.
edit: well, it solves a few problems, but it is still misformed as *********. Whatever possessed them not to quote whole lists of style declarations?
edit2: Ah, Bob removed the quotes all on his own. I assume with leaving the quotes there & quoted printable decode it would be solved.
Yea that looks like a mess, have you looked into or tried something like htmlPurifier?
There are a few others, but I do not know them as the only one I ever used was the htmlPurifier, but you may want to look into that (if that is what you are asking for).
You can use tidy to repair your HTML. But it looks very bad so you should start with fixing the script that produces the HTML before.
On a windows machine you might have to add or uncomment the following line in your php.ini to be able to use it:
extension=php_tidy.dll
Some very basic example from the documentation:
$html = '<p>test</I>';
$tidy = tidy_parse_string($html);
$tidy->cleanRepair();
echo $tidy;
This will output the following:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<p>test</p>
</body>
</html>
