How to use curl to retrieve an url ?
| Back to php. guest-curler (2009-04-23) |
Hi all,
Here is a very simple function to retrieve the content from an url, it uses the CURL function if it does exist only, otherwise the file_get_contents() function is used instead. Useful
<?
function retrieve_url($url)
{
if (substr($url, 0, 7) != 'http://') $url = 'ht*p://'.$url;
// if curl not installed
if (!function_exists('curl_init'))
{
return file_get_contents($url);
}
else
{
// new curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set url where to download content
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// set referrer
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.google.com/");
// set user agent
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
// remove header or not : 0 = yes, 1 = no
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// curl may return or print the data : true = return, false = print
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// timeout in seconds
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
// get the content from url
$content = curl_exec($ch);
// close the curl resource
curl_close($ch);
return $content;
}
}
