Collect data from a php website (page scraping) and insert them into an excel sheet

Hi everyone, I need to collect some data from the following website and insert it into a spread sheet: [[login to view URL]][1] the data I need is basically all the quantitative information regarding each single “opportunity?? (around 5000). In order to see which variables I actually need, please consider the excel spreadsheet (the first row is an example, to be deleted). As you may see, obtaining the majority of the data is not that hard, only getting the date and the industry right might be a bit trickier, however, it is not crucial that you make a distinction between “date funded?? and “date repaid??. Furthermore some data, such as the value of the collateral might be in a .doc file. I hope this won’t create any problems. If the opportunity is still in the bidding process, just leave the cells regarding the four “repayment tracking?? variables empty. As soon as you are done, please let me have the completed excel spreadsheet and the program you used to collect the data. I’m looking forward to working with you! Marwin Ps. Please don’t hesitate to contact me at any time. Also via msn would be fine with me. ## Deliverables 1) The filled in excell sheet plus the complete and fully-functional working program in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Monday Dec 29, 2008 7:34:10 AM: Hello, You gave me some different suggestions about how you would perform the task, and I'm very glad for that. After looking at each suggestion and after getting some further advice I figured that it would be best for me if you used a php / mySQL script to perform the task. Please let me know who of you is able to do that since I would like to have chosen a coder by tomorrow or even by today if possible. Best regards, Marwin ## Platform MS Office 2003 (NO 2007 please) for the spread sheet 2.0 + Firefox or Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP for the rest
