Code: Select all
$theurl = 'http://www.examplesite.com/search.php?query=somekeyword';
$contents = file_get_contents($theurl);
print $contents;
I want my function to do something like this
Code: Select all
[color=#008000]$theurl[/color]='http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q='.[color=#008000]$emailaddress[/color].'&init=q';
[color=#008000]$contents [/color]= file_get_contents([color=#008000]$theurl[/color]);
{
[color=#40BFFF]//check to see if there are any search results for that email address[/color]
}
Im assuming the only way to do this is with cURL but im not really familiar with it.
I tried searching on google and found this:
Code: Select all
<?php
// INIT CURL
$ch = curl_init();
// SET URL FOR THE POST FORM LOGIN
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.external-site.com/Members/Login.php');
// ENABLE HTTP POST
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
// SET POST PARAMETERS : FORM VALUES FOR EACH FIELD
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'fieldname1=fieldvalue1&fieldname2=fieldvalue2');
// IMITATE CLASSIC BROWSER'S BEHAVIOUR : HANDLE COOKIES
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
# Setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER variable to 1 will force cURL
# not to print out the results of its query.
# Instead, it will return the results as a string return value
# from curl_exec() instead of the usual true/false.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// EXECUTE 1st REQUEST (FORM LOGIN)
$store = curl_exec ($ch);
// SET FILE TO DOWNLOAD
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.external-site.com/Members/Downloads/AnnualReport.pdf');
// EXECUTE 2nd REQUEST (FILE DOWNLOAD)
$content = curl_exec ($ch);
// CLOSE CURL
curl_close ($ch);
