How does php's cURL work? Example of what I am hoping to do included?

I am pretty sure I need cURL to do what is needed for my little app-type html code. Here is what I have atm for HTML/CSS/Javascript...

http://files1.guildlaunch.net/guild/library/182884/crafter.htm

What I would like is the names and ranks in the list to auto update themselves instead of me having to go into the html file and change it everytime a person ranks up.

The game has a main site called Lodestone, where it tracks peoples ranks in real-time. Example...

http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/rc/character/status?cicuid=2937043

What I want my site to do is whenever someone has a craft rank 20 and above, to list their name to the respective craft. So in this example, it would list his name under "Culinarian" and then put "22", which the number 22 automatically updates as the guy levels it.

Is cURL what I'm looking for?

I'm a complete newb at php, so be gentle :)

Thanks for any input.
