Ovidius University Timetable Parser

Overview

A companion timetable utility for Ovidius University of Constanța. The archived folder is thin, essentially the Simple HTML DOM parser library set up via Composer as the parsing engine for the schedule data.

Why It Exists

Same motivation as its sibling: turn the university’s HTML-only class schedules into structured, reusable data. This variant centres on the Simple HTML DOM library as the parsing approach.

What We Built

The folder is built around amstaff/simplehtmldom (the PSR-style packaging of the well-known simple_html_dom library) under lib/, installed through Composer, with a one-line README. Little custom scraping code survives in the archive, so this reads as the parsing-engine foundation for the timetable effort rather than a finished script.

Technologies & Approach

PHP with the Simple HTML DOM parser, the most common 2010s PHP library for DOM-style extraction from arbitrary HTML, managed by Composer.

Outcome / Impact

A minimal, abandoned-stage companion to orar informatica. Retained for completeness; together the two folders document a student-era timetable-scraping initiative.

Capabilities Demonstrated

• HTML/DOM parsing with Simple HTML DOM
• Dependency management with Composer
• Practical web-data extraction
