When you talk about web scraping, PHP is the last thing most people think about.

But this tool based on Symphony framework is about to change your mind.

According to it’s documentation on  https://goutte.readthedocs.io/en/latest/:

“Goutte provides a nice API to crawl websites and extract data from the HTML/XML responses.”

This also means you can login to a website, submit a form, upload a file and whatnot all using this library siting at your server (or even on your local system) and still do all the things you would normally do.
