How would I scrape a Google Doc into a webpage?

How would I pull in content from a Google Docs spreadsheet onto a web page?

There is a publicly shared Google spreadsheet that I would like to periodically pull into a static web page. Are there any scripts/tools that can accomplish this? It would be a huge bonus if it came with additional options (e.g. sorting by one or more columns)

Something that uses PHP would be great but other suggestions are also welcome.

Google doc API! I've only played with it in .Net, but it does make sense most of the time.

You can also publish it to the web using the "Share" button that then put it in an iframe on some other page.
