I can't think of a simple way to do this to be brutally honsest.

I would write a "robots" style script that pulls the HTML of the page as text then reads it and parses it and logs all of the relevant information. If you wrote this in an object orientated way, you could spawn new "robots" to follow each link on the page and retrieve the data and post it all back to a database for analysis later?

Is this the answer you were after? let me know if I've missed the target and I'll try and help you further.

Yeah thats basically what I'm trying to do. So howdo I pull the code to a text file? Is there a function in PHP that can do this?

Try using the file_get_contents command

See this link :

http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php

This should start you off.
