PHP Demo login and get Data

Curl is a powerful PHP library that uses PHP's curl library to easily and efficiently crawl Web pages and capture content, set a cookie to complete a mock landing page, and Curl provides a wealth of functions for developers to get more information about curl from the PHP manual. This article takes the example of open source China (Oschina), and shares the use of curl with everyone.

PHP's curl () is relatively high in terms of crawling web pages, and supports multiple threads, while file_get_contents () is less efficient and, of course, you need to turn on the curl extension when using curl.

Code Combat
First look at the code of the login section:
"
//Impersonation login
Function login_post ($url, $cookie, $post) {
$curl = Curl_init ();// Initialize the Curl module
curl_setopt ($curl, Curlopt_url, $url);//Login submitted address
curl_setopt ($curl, Curlopt_header, 0);//whether to display header information
curl_setopt ($curl, Curlopt_returntransfer, 0);//Whether the returned information is automatically displayed
curl_setopt ($curl, Curlopt_cookiejar, $cookie); Set cookie information to be saved in the specified file
curl_setopt ($curl, Curlopt_post, 1),//post mode submission
curl_setopt ($curl, Curlopt_postfields, Http_build_query ($post));//The information to be submitted
Curl_exec ($curl);//Perform Curl
Curl_close ($curl);//Turn off the Curl resource and release the system resources
} The
'
Function login_post () First initializes the Curl_init () and then uses curl_setopt () to set the relevant option information, including the URL address to be submitted, the cookie file to be saved, the post data (user name and password information, etc.) , whether to return information, and so on, then Curl_exec performs curl and finally Curl_close () frees the resource. Note that PHP's own http_build_query () can convert an array into a concatenated string.

Next, if the login is successful, we want to get the page information after successful login.
"
//Log on successfully after the data function get_content ($url, $cookie) {
$ch = Curl_init ();
curl_setopt ($ch, Curlopt_url, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, Curlopt_header, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, Curlopt_returntransfer, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, Curlopt_cookiefile, $cookie);//Read cookie
$rs = curl_exec ($ch);//Perform Curl Crawl page contents
Curl_close ( $CH);
return $rs; The
}
'
function get_content () also initializes Curl first, then sets the relevant options, performs curl, and frees the resource. Where we set Curlopt_returntransfer to 1 automatically returns information, while Curlopt_cookiefile can read the cookie information saved at login, and finally return the content of the page.

Our ultimate goal is to obtain information after the simulated login, which is useful information that can only be obtained after the normal login is successful. Let's take a look at the mobile version of Open source China for example, and see how to crawl the information after successful login.
```
Set the data for the post
$post = Array (
' Email ' = ' Oschina account ',
' pwd ' = ' oschina password ',
' Goto_page ' = '/my ',
' Error_page ' = '/login ',
' Save_login ' = ' 1 ',
' Submit ' + ' login Now '
);
Login Address
$url = "Http://m.oschina.net/action/user/login";
Set Cookie Save path
$cookie = DirName (__file__). '/cookie_oschina.txt ';
Address to get information after login
$url 2 = "http://m.oschina.net/my";
Analog Login
Login_post ($url, $cookie, $post);
Get information about the login page
$content = Get_content ($url 2, $cookie);
Delete cookie File
@ unlink ($cookie);
Match page Information
$preg = "/<td class= ' Portrait ' > (. *) <\/td>/i";
Preg_match_all ($preg, $content, $arr);
$str = $arr [1][0];
Output content
Echo $str;
```

After running the above code, we will see a picture of the avatar that eventually gets to the logged-in user.

Usage Summary
1, initialize curl;

2, use curl_setopt to set the target URL, and other options;

3, curl_exec, perform curl;

4, after the implementation, close curl;

5, output data.
