Building a steam scraper for a client
Basically the point is to get the appid from the steamstore from a game name which is in the variable $game

$string = file_get_contents('http://store.steampowered.com/search/?snr=1_4_4__12&term='.$game.'');

preg_match('#http://store.steampowered.com/app/(.*)/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1#', $string, $matches);

$result = substr("$matches[1]", 0, -2); 

Just a short version does more also don't laugh im still learning php
