How to get data from other site

Question

I'm making a website and it'll have a user page on which will be user score. I'm taking that score from the other website but the problem is how to do that: how to get text from any element on any website? I wanted to try this but I don't know how to select that th from which I need text because the whole table hasn't any IDs, only a class. You can see in the code, I want text from the place where is written: I NEED THIS.

Thanks.

<table class="profile" style="padding:0px; margin:0px;">
    <tr>
        <td valign="top" style="padding:0px; margin:0px;">
            <h3>TEXT</h3>
        </td>
        <td valign="bottom" align="right">
            TEXT</br>
            TEXT</br>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td valign="top">
        <table class="score_stats">
            <tr><th>TEXT</th><th>   **I NEED THIS**   </th></tr>
            <tr><td>TEXT</td><td>NUMBER</td></tr>
            <tr><td>TEXT</td><td>NUMBER</td></tr>
            <tr><td>TEXT</td><td>NUMBER</td></tr>
            <tr><td>TEXT</td><td>NUMBER</td></tr>
            <tr><td>TEXT</td><td>NUMBER</td></tr>
       </table>
       </td>
    </tr>
</table>

After the whole day of trying I made this:

function getPlayerScore($url){
    libxml_use_internal_errors( true );
    $dom = new DOMDocument();
    $dom->loadHTMLFile( $url );
    $finder = new DOMXpath( $dom );
    $nodes = $finder->query( "//*[@class='score_stats']/tr" )->item(0)->nodeValue;
    $nodes = str_split($nodes, 11);
    return $nodes[1];
}

getPlayerScore($user['playercp'])

...and it's working.
