Automobile Make & Model Code

[JuliaB]

Hello,

I'm looking for a list of all automobile makes and corresponding models (similar to what is on autotrader.com) to input into an auto review site i'm building. Rather than painstakingly cutting and pasting from html code all the models for every single make, I'm looking for a source that can provide this to me.

I'm also wondering how I'd be able to get update when new models come on the market.

If someone can give me some advice on this or point me in the right direction, I'd GREATLY appreciate it!

Thanks very much in advance

That's going to be in a database somewhere, accessed by (most likely) a perl or PHP script. In order to effectively mimic this code, you would need to get the source for the database accessing code. One way you might get around this would be to include the file through PHP (<? include("

http://www.thepage.com/restofpath");

?>). This will add the output of the file, the auto listing in this case, wherever you insert that include statement.

NOTE: I'm assuming the server your working on supports PHP

Umm... Surely you would buy this data from a data harvesting / collecting agency?
