Just saw this while passing by... There's a nice book by Michael
Schrenk (www.schrenk.com) called "Webbots, Spiders and Screen
Scrapers" that teaches scraping and spidering from the ground up using
PHP. Since you said you want more info on spiders, this book might be
a good way for you to acquire concept and implementation hand-in-hand.
He's also developed a nice webbot library in PHP that you can get from
his website.

 Also comes with a nice webbot library (which you can download from
the website anyway).
