Jonas David John is a guy, who loves lightbox as i do... ;-)
he also developed a PHP class to query the web by a SQL like language... it allows you to access HTML values by using SQL.

Jonas says:

I had this idea while extracting some data from a website. As I realized that the algorithms and functions to extract links and other tags are often the same - I had the idea to combine all functions to an universal usable class. While drinking a coffee and thinking on that problem, I thought it would be cool to access HTML elements by using SQL. So I started creating this class...
