WC3 Map site, extracting and parsing map data

Hi everyone, I'm sure everyone has visited http://www.epicwar.com at some point and my question revolves around how they extract the data from the map. You can see that a minimap image is automatically generated and all the details are gathered and plugged into the database.

Replay data is very well documented, and I'm wondering whether or not .w3x files also use zlib compression, and whether there's any documentation anywhere on how to extract the data (I'm not looking for specific php code).

Thanks!|||I once used an MPQ extractor that allows you to open WC3 maps.|||Related information:

I am trying to generate a php parser just like epicwar aswell (then for a specific genre games).
