Yeah route planning is not something you can really cache. Data costs thousands as well but the good news is that the routines to search it are just maths.

Are there no places that will do this officially for you? I'm sure you can do it free if you leave their logo on etc.

Or ask them nicely? :lol:


:lol::lol:

no, the data is entered by the client and then sent to there server and then wacked on mine ;)
and ive already thought about getting my own backend, but its going to run into the thousands, maybe 10s...so that idea went right out of the window.

But if anyone knows how to do route planning then let me know :lol:

cheers for your helps guys, ill try out the proxy idea and see how far i can get with that :thumbs:

thats the problem though, im sending this site a query (different data) and it then dumps out a page and im nabbing the source etc - so its a bit of a bugger to nab it in short bursts as i need it to display as quickly as pos etc

so i think proxy is the only way to go - but obviously change the proxy every so often ;)

proxy would be best bet IMO, no point in faking headers as there will be detailed logs somewhere with the correct IP

i using the fopensocket to nab some data from another site, is there anyway i can mask my server from them? ie: they cant trace it back to me?

been reading that headers can be faked quite easily, but there webserver is bound to have logs, so i can disguise my ip addy?
would i need to use a proxy?

cheers,
Dom :thumbs:
