title: Is it possible to pass the sum of a column from an HTML table on a DIFFERENT website to a db?
body: <p>This question probably was worded more complicating than it actually is.</p>
  
  <p>So, basically I am trying to find the "total of column Z" based on reports given to a different website. These reports are given in HTML table form. This website I have no access to. Is it possible, for instance, for me to sum the column of the html table (maybe put in an iframe?) without having access to its source, but while knowing the table ID?</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: I am using HTML, PHP currently (obviously I'm pretty newbie). I don't have much knowledge of java/javascript/jquery, but if it is necessary to complete this task I will learn up! My goal is to send the values of the totals to an Oracle 11g Database, if that makes the problem easier to solve.</p>
  
  <p>I wanted to make sure this is possible before I waste my time trying it. I don't have much time as it is lol.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <p>Table from "www.website.com"</p>
  
  <pre><code>     H1   |  H2  |  H3  |  H4
  V1:1 | V1:2 | V1:3 | V1:4
  V2:1 | V2:2 | V2:3 | V2:4
  V2:1 | V2:2 | V2:3 | V2:4
  V2:1 | V2:2 | V2:3 | V2:4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My goal:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$sum1 = &lt;SUM OF ALL V IN COLUMN H2&gt;;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>TIA!</p>
