I know it is possible to get information (text) from another page.
For example, on the page at http://www.page.com/ is a div named news.
How can I get the text from this div?

A:
Yes, that's what HTML Simple DOM is for amongst other options.
Example:
$html = file_get_html('http://www.page.com/');
$mydiv = $html->find('div[id=news]', 0)->plaintext;

+1 for using HTML simple dom parser which is similar to jQuery in terms of selectors :) however please don't forget to use `clear()` method when using multiple instances of HTML DOM (i.e. in iteration) as it's easy to reach the memory limit using this library :)

@Sarfraz, I'm afraid that they do not state anywhere that is recommended to use "clear", that's why I've written it here ;)
