title: How to automate apache retrieval of data from a MikroTik router?
body: <p>I recently had the task of integrating data pulled from remote MikroTiks into an apache web app.  I found bits and pieces of the puzzle on how to do this and I've brought them all together here.</p>
  
  <p>So how does one automate data retrieval from MikroTiks to a php apache server?  (Without installing PEAR or PECL modules.)</p>
