Get Url Content PHP

Get file content from URL?

Depending on your PHP configuration, this may be a easy as using:

$jsonData = json_decode(file_get_contents('https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p3&chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&chl=Hello|World&chof=json'));

However, if allow_url_fopen isn't enabled on your system, you could read the data via CURL as follows:

<?php
    $curlSession = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=p3&chs=250x100&chd=t:60,40&chl=Hello|World&chof=json');
    curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    $jsonData = json_decode(curl_exec($curlSession));
    curl_close($curlSession);
?>

Incidentally, if you just want the raw JSON data, then simply remove the json_decode.

Get content from a url using php

You are fetching a JavaScript snippet that is supposed to be built in directly into the document, not queried by a script. The code inside is JavaScript.

You could pull out the code using a regular expression, but I would advise against it. First, it's probably not legal to do. Second, the format of the data they serve can change any time, breaking your script.

I think you should take at their RSS feed. You can parse that programmatically way easier than the JavaScript.

PHP Get URL Contents And Search For String

Just read the contents of the page as you would read a file. PHP does the connection stuff for you. Then just look for the string via regex or simple string comparison.

$url = 'http://my.url.com/';
$data = file_get_contents( $url );

if ( strpos( 'maybe baby love you', $data ) === false )
{

    // do something

}

PHP Get Contents of a URL or Page

If you only need GET and allow_url_fopen is enabled on your server, you can simply use

$data = file_get_contents('http://api.somesite.com');

Get the full URL in PHP

Have a look at $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], i.e.

$actual_link = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

(Note that the double quoted string syntax is perfectly correct)

If you want to support both HTTP and HTTPS, you can use

$actual_link = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 'on' ? "https" : "http") . "://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

Editor's note: using this code has security implications. The client can set HTTP_HOST and REQUEST_URI to any arbitrary value it wants.

How to fetch the url content using php curl or file_get_content on the same server?

I think you have DNS resolving problem.

There is two ways you can use your website's locahost instead of the external domain name.

1. If you have your own server / VPS / Dedicated server,
Add entry in vim /etc/hosts for 127.0.0.1 website.net or try to fetch the content with localhost(127.0.0.1).

2. If you are using shared hosting, then try to use below url(s) in your code,

http://localhost.mywebsite.net/~username/home.php. 
OR
Try to call http://localhost.mywebsite.net/home.php

Try this to fetch the url content -

$dynamic = TRY_ABOVE_URL(S)
$out = "home.html" ;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$dynamic);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$file = curl_exec($ch);

if($file === false) {
    echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}

file_put_contents($out, $file);

How do I get the HTML code of a web page in PHP?

If your PHP server allows url fopen wrappers then the simplest way is:

$html = file_get_contents('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask');

If you need more control then you should look at the cURL functions:

$c = curl_init('https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask');
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
//curl_setopt(... other options you want...)

$html = curl_exec($c);

if (curl_error($c))
    die(curl_error($c));

// Get the status code
$status = curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

curl_close($c);
