Free Web Scraper - XML, JSON, CSV and Array URL Outputs

Good evening,

I been aware of this forum for a while and am looking for some feedback, comments and suggests for a free web scraping tool I've created.

You can find it here: hxxp://webscraper.aahsoftware.uk/

I really want to create something useful which i can eventually monitise; all of which I'll need your knowledge to help...

So, i was just wondering if you could have a look, tell me what you think and what i could do to make it better. If it's rubbish and a dead end that's fine too.

I've tried to keep it simple, and written some instructions on the 'HOW DOES IT WORK' page, but i can make it as complicated as required.

Thanks in advance!

I couldn't make it work, and crossed to a error multiple time

Fatal error: Call to a member function getAttribute() on a non-object in /home/alexhowardalex/public_html/aahsoftware.uk/subdomains/scraper/output.php on line 81

The tool itself can be very cool, specialy if people or you can add their sites like flickr, tumblr ect.

One thing, is you need to improve the theme/design. The police writting is horrible making the site like in the years 1990

Hi misteryou.

Thank you for having a look for me! I've updated the error handling to suppress this message and give some warnings.

What couldn't you get to work? What were you trying to do?

Yes, great idea and one i thought about, but how could I get PHP to login??? - I'll do some research.

I'm a developer (not a pro but know enough), not a graphic designer, lol, but i appreciate your point. What font would you prefer?

Hi,

I've just updated it so you can login to your account on an external website.

Maybe not the most obvious way of working so have a look here: hxxp://webscraper.aahsoftware.uk/howto.php?#login.

I've also updated the occurrence field to allow specific occurrences (1), a range (1 to 10), a list (1,2,3) or 'All' to get every tag on the page.

You can also specify an attribute (e.g. 'title') or enter 'Get Content' to get the inner HTML.

Let me know what you think, i really want this to be community lead and to produce free tool that works for everyone.

Thanks again!
