I would like to know if the simple_html_dom library from ScraperWiki:
require 'scraperwiki/simple_html_dom.php';
Is the same or uses the same methods as this one:
I want to know this because it would be an easy way to try the scrapers at ScraperWiki in local.
Yes, they are the same.
if you run a new scraper in scraperwiki with this code:
echo `/usr/bin/md5sum "../scraperwiki/php/scraperwiki/simple_html_dom.php"`;
You can obtain the md5 sum of the file they are using. i.e. fa249f6c0a0bc274631b8d606817f49d
And if you download the file from sourceforge and use a local php file with this code:
echo hash_file('md5', 'simple_html_dom.php');
You can obtain the md5 sum of the file on sourceforge. i.e. fa249f6c0a0bc274631b8d606817f49d
As you can see both are the same :D
p.s. yes, scraperwiki seems to run code in `
:O
