I am trying to get the text from the following url.
http://stp.stheadline.com/data/indexNewsMarquee.json
I have tried several methods but none of them worked. I am really desperate right now please help me and thanks in advance.
P.S. I have enabled allow_url_fopen in my ini.php already.
P.S. I am using XAMPP v3.3.2 and PHP v5.6.23
the following are the codes that I have tried (and failed)
CURL
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
result: Empty string
file_get_contents
echo file_get_contents($url, true);
result: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!
readfile
echo readfile($url)
result: output the address itself
Hi you have to pass header in your curl request, so server can treat its as browser request.
$url="http://stp.stheadline.com/data/indexNewsMarquee.json";
$requestHeaders = array(
"Accept:application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01",
"Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8",
"Connection:keep-alive",
"Host:stp.stheadline.com",
"Origin:http://stp.stheadline.com",
"Referer:http://stp.stheadline.com/data/indexNewsMarquee.json",
"User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.87 Safari/537.36"
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $requestHeaders);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;
They are requiring a useragent to be present in the request, so try:
$url='http://stp.stheadline.com/data/indexNewsMarquee.json';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'banana');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
Use Just like this:
$curl_handle=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,'Your URL');
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Your application name');
$query = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
print_r($query);
I checked this Code from Your URL.
Kevin,
Please try below Code.
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
$url='http://stp.stheadline.com/data/indexNewsMarquee.json';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('text/html; charset=utf-8'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$final_result = json_decode($result);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($final_result);
I have added header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); and curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, ""); in your code, and it will work well, also will display correct characters as well.
Try this out.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://stp.stheadline.com/data/indexNewsMarquee.json');
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo($result); // Json data
/*$obj = json_decode($result); // To get result in array
print_r($obj);*/
Or
$url = 'http://stp.stheadline.com/data/indexNewsMarquee.json';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo($result); // Json data
It's working for me :)
I am trying to log into an .asp site with a https login page from PHP. I can't get logged into the site . There dosen't seem to be a cookie generated, viewstate, etc nor does it work leaving these parameters out. The form fields seem to fill correctly (i can physically see the login name) but im not sure about the password field which is a password type, but i don't think there is a issue there, its correctly spelled etc.
I have tried all the related posts including http://www.mishainthecloud.com/2009/12/screen-scraping-aspnet-application-in.html?showComment=1368565341638#c9104469935977149435
My code is below and returning "not Found" (error code 7 i think..) on the final call. No curl errors are present on the 1st two calls.
Can anyone help with this?

SOLUTION: it was curl_init() on each operation that was causing this to break. Viewstate, headers are not needed.

Please check again that cookie stored on first page. Set CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR for Session cookies and not reinit or close curl for save a session.
Set CURLOPT_REFERER, some sites check it for login page.
I would like to get the html of the page. After some google-ing, i found following code, which isn't working.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$passwd");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;
edit: something like this then:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, '');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'username='.urlencode($username).'&passwd='.urlencode($passwd));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/my_cookies.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/my_cookies.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "");
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output
This just shows the target page, it doesn't log in, nor does it return the html code.
edit 2: now tried with $data = array('username' => $username, 'passwd' => $passwd); and curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);
This shows the same as above + an error: Request Entity Too Large
That page does not use HTTP Basic Authentication.
You need to make an HTTP request to match what submitting the form would sent, then you need to process the response (which will probably involve storing cookies).
I would like to use a cURL function, but I'm behind a proxy, so I get an HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required error...
This is the php code I use:
$proxy_user = 'Michiel';
$proxy_pass = 'mypassword';
$proxy_url = 'myproxyurl:port';
$proxy = true;
$service_url = "https://www.myapiurltocall.com";
$service_user = 'user:password:FO';
$service_pass = 'password';
$ch = curl_init($service_url);
// Set proxy if necessary
if ($proxy) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $proxy_user.':'.$proxy_pass);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, 8080);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, CURLAUTH_NTLM);
}
// Set service authentication
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "{$service_user}:{$service_pass}");
// HTTP headers
$headers['Authorization'] = 'Basic ' . base64_encode("$proxy_user:$proxy_pass");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);
//WARNING: this would prevent curl from detecting a 'man in the middle' attack
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
And I don't know what I do wrong... How can I get around this error?
This is what I'm mostly using :
function curlFile($url,$proxy_ip,$proxy_port,$loginpassw)
{
//$loginpassw = 'username:password';
//$proxy_ip = '192.168.1.1';
//$proxy_port = '12345';
//$url = 'http://www.domain.com';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, $proxy_port);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, 'HTTP');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy_ip);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $loginpassw);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
This is what I use and it works perfectly:
$proxy = "1.1.1.1:12121";
$useragent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1";
$url = "http://www.google.pt/search?q=anonymous";
$credentials = "user:pass"
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,15);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION,'CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1' );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD,$credentials);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,$useragent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,0);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
Try to implement this in your function
function send_string($data) {
// pr($data);exit;
$equi_input="Your values";
// echo $equi_input; exit;
$agent = ""//Agent Setting for Netscape
$url = ""; // URL to POST FORM. (Action of Form)
//xml format
$efx_request=strtoupper($equi_input);
//echo $efx_request;exit;
$post_fields = "site_id=""&service_name=""&efx_request=$efx_request";
$credentials = ;
$headers = array("HTTP/1.1",
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
"Authorization: Basic " . $credentials
);
$fh = fopen('/tmp/test.txt', 'w') or die("can't open file"); //File to write the header information of the curl request.
$ch = curl_init(); // Initialize a CURL session.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); // Pass URL as parameter.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fh);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // use this option to Post a form
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields); // Pass form Fields.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, '1');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, '1');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch); // grab URL and pass it to the variable.
curl_close($ch); // close curl resource, and free system resources.
fclose($fh);
//echo '<pre>';print_r($array);echo '</pre>';exit;
if (!empty($result)) {
return $result;
} else {
echo "Curl Error" . curl_error($ch);
}
}
check request send 200ok ...
And check your secure certificate if you are using....
Thanks.
Assuming the $proxy_user:$proxy_pass are the correct values, if you are behind an office firewall the authentication credentials to be used would be that of a network administrator and not your own...I've encountered something very similar in my work environment and that was the case for me as my normal credentials didn't have the necessary privileges. The best way to ensure that this is the case however would be to ensure the code works in an open network with your proxy settings commented. Hope this helps!
I am trying to log into a website using PHP CURL. It all works fine on websites which doesn't require cookies and session but it doesn't seem to work with the websites which rquire you so here is my code I found this code over here
any help on this would be apritiated thanks

Maybe you need more options:
// define some HTTP headers
$headers[] = "Accept: */*";
$headers[] = "Connection: Keep-Alive";
$headers[] = "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8";
// to GET add
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
// to POST add
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
// check for errors before close
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ($result === false)
{
echo curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
Be sure that your $cookie_file_path file is writable (if Linux). Play with CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER.
http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll not only expects username and password as post data, but other parameters as well, maybe you didn't take account of that. Use Net tab on firebug to see the parameters passed, and try to duplicate it.
