Is it Possible to scrape content from a membership site so that i can create an Rss feed for import into my inbox?

You see, I'm a member of several sites that provide casting calls for the performing arts industry (some paid, some free), but most of them don't provide Rss feeds of the newest casting call updates with means that I have to irritatingly log into 7 different sites each day to see what the latest casting calls are. Is there a way using a script/program to create an Rss feed from these pages content so that I can import it into my gmail inbox?

I'm sure its achievable using php, but I have no idea how to log myself in automatically.

I have contacted the site owners about setting up an RSS feed but it's been months of emails and i haven't gotten a response.

It can be done using CURL. If the sites dont change often, the system would be fairly reliable and do what you need it to do.
