to scrap the website , you need to get the HTML of the website pages
you can do it by curl functions or file_get_contents function

$html=file_get_contents("website url");

now use regular expression to find and matched element and get text or element detail

 preg_match_all('/src="([^"]+)"/',$html, $src_array, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
print_r($src_array);

suppose above code use regular expression to get src from all possible place from given html
you can try to get desired part of the website in PHP.
