If you're just capturing and using the body, the load with
file_get_contents() and use preg_match() to select the body or
individual tags, etc... For more control, maybe try this:

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadHTMLFile('http://example.com/page.html');

Then use: http://php.net/manual/book.dom.php

I thought I would get some more experts giving me more insight about the
methods of scraping.

I want to grab the body content of pages say of Wordpress but not through
RSS. I would assume the pages are static only. And try to scrape the body
content but avoiding sidebar, footer, header etc.

I tried with the DOM and its fun. But just wanting to know some expert
experience on specific to my problem.

Thanks in advance.
