Scrape Websites with PHP

What it is

A lightweight PHP scraper that turns any structured website into a dataset by querying DOM nodes with CSS selectors and converting the results into reusable arrays or CSV exports.

Built for quick-and-dirty research projects, it made it easy to experiment with data capture pipelines before investing in heavier integrations.
