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!

LEARN ABOUT PHP

nsapi_virtual

NSAPI_VIRTUAL(3)							 1							  NSAPI_VIRTUAL(3)

nsapi_virtual - Perform an NSAPI sub-request

SYNOPSIS

       bool nsapi_virtual (string  $uri)

DESCRIPTION

       nsapi_virtual(3)  is  an NSAPI-specific function which is equivalent to <!--#include virtual...--> in SSI ( .shtml files). It does an NSAPI
       sub-request. It is useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, or anything else that you'd parse through webserver.

	To run the sub-request, all buffers are terminated and flushed to the browser, pending headers are sent too.

	You cannot make recursive requests with this function to other PHP scripts. If	you  want  to  include	PHP  scripts,  use  include(3)	or
       require(3).

       Note

	       This function depends on a undocumented feature of the Netscape/iPlanet/Sun webservers. Use phpinfo(3) to determine if it is avail-
	      able. In the Unix environment it should always work, in Windows it depends on the name of a ns-httpdXX.dll file.

	       Read the note about subrequests in the NSAPI section (UNIX, Windows) if you experience this problem.

PARAMETERS

	      o $uri
		- The URI of the script.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
