When attempting to use my quotes grabber for a real-time application it turned out to take to long to request pages, parse them, then return a result for a high volume site.

A simple solution for a page that doesn’t change much in 24 hours (you can of course adjust for less) is the following PHP Caching system uses just a day file and checks against it.

$v)
		$ch = curl_init($v);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION  ,1);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER      ,0);
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER  ,1);
		$url_str = curl_exec($ch);

		preg_match_all('~

]*>(.*?)

~is',$url_str,$matches);
		foreach($matches[0] as $k=>$v){
			$str .= $v;
		}

		file_put_contents($datename,$str);
	}else{
		$str = file_get_contents($datename);
	}

?>

Fairly simple but sometimes simple things evade the smartest people.
