I am working on a project that involves fetching pages with cURL or file_get_contents. The problem is that when i try to echo the html fetched, the output seem to be different from the original page, not all images show up. Please i would like to know if there is a solution. My code
<?php
//Get the url
$url = "http://www.google.com";
//Get the html of url
function get_data($url)
{
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
//$userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US)AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.X.Y.Z Safari/525.13.";
$userAgent = "IE 7 – Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $userAgent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
$html = file_get_contents($url);
echo $html;
?>
Thanks
You should use <base>
to specify a base url for all relative links:
If you curl http://example.com/thisPage.html
then add a base
tag in your echoed output of ''. This should technically be in the <head>
, but this will work:
echo '<base href="http://example.com/" />';
echo $html;
Live example w <base>
is broken w/o <base>
