If you Google around, I am sure you can find many sample PHP scripts that do most of what you want. This is very old technology and there is no need to reinvent the wheel parsing HTML data.

Neo, As I stated, still struggling with the terminology and concepts, so patience, I'm total newbie at using this technology, that's why I'm asking Qs as I don't even know where to focus, right now, to accomplish this.
Cheers!

main - Dummy formain(3)

	There  is  no  function  named	main(3)  except  in  the  PHP  source.	In  PHP  4.3.0,  a  new  type  of error handling in the PHP source
       (php_error_docref) was introduced. One feature is to provide links to a	manual	page  in  PHP  error  messages	when  the  PHP	directives
       html_errors (on by default) and docref_root (on by default until PHP 4.3.2) are set.

	Sometimes  error messages refer to a manual page for the function main(3) which is why this page exists. If you discover such a reference,
       please file a bug report, indicating the PHP function caused the error that linked to main(3) and it will be fixed and properly documented.
