How to use it

Hi there
Please do tell, how to use it. And how can use it for USA and for other categories

Please send me your sample categories you want to scrap may be I can create working sample for you.

hi! I am glad and thanks for reply which shows your real professionalism.

About categories:
The same categories as the OLX has on its main page.

Thanks

Please download the code and place it in your webroot and then just edit the example.php to run for USA

in the code below change "$category='vehicles'" to your category and remove .pk from the domain.

run it in your browser by entering the http://localhost/example.php


$categories = array('cars','motorcycles','scooters','bicycles','commercial-vehicles','parts-accessories','other-vehicles');
$portal = "olx";
$pages= 2;
$category ="vehicles";
$start = date('h:i:s',time());
for($i=1;$i<=$pages;$i++){
if($i==1){
$searchURL = "http://olx.com.pk/$category/";
}else{
$searchURL = "http://olx.com.pk/$category/?page=".$i;
}

$collection = crawl($searchURL,$portal);
print"<pre>";
print_r($collection);
}
