Get Content of HMTL Page Using PHP CURL
In some situation you may need to get html content of given URL. Here is I am showing one of the method to get html content of given URL using PHP CURL.
You may use file_get_contents() method in PHP to get html content of given URL, but most of the sever restricted access to the html page if you are going to access page using file_get_contents(). So it is safer to use PHP CURL to access to given HTML webpage content.
Even you may access HTML content of the https page using PHP CURL.
Get Content of HMTL Page Using PHP CURL
Step 1:
Create HTML page with HTML Form with text box to get website URL from users. When users enters valid website URL, I am posting that given URL to server (PHP FILE) using jQuery ajax. Where I am sending request to server particular server to get content HTML page Using PHP CURL.
Here is the HTML page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Get Content of HMTL Page Using PHP CURL</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Pacifico' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" >
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1 class="text-center page-title" >Get Content of HMTL Page Using PHP CURL</h1>
<div class="row url-getter">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-8">
<form role="form" id="siteform" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="url" class="form-control" name="site_url" id="site_url" placeholder="Enter your site address">
<span class="help-block"></span>
</div>
<button data-loading-text="Please wait..." type="submit" id="url_getter" class="btn btn-default btn-success">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<h1 class="text-center page-title" >New Site</h1>
<iframe style="border: 0 none !important;height: 1000px;width: 100%;" id="site"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
Step 2:
Here PHP CURL script to get HTML content given URL.
<?php
if( isset( $_POST['site_url'] ) && !empty( $_POST['site_url'] ) ){
echo get_html($_POST['site_url']);
} else {
echo 'false';
}
function get_html($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
?>
Step 3:
Here is the jQuery script for validation and ajax request. Once we get response from the server (i.e. PHP), Using jQuery I am assigning that response to IFRAME in that page.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#siteform").validate({
submitHandler : function(e) {
$('#url_getter').button('loading');
site_url= $('#site_url').val();
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax.php',
method: 'post',
data: { site_url: site_url },
success: function (data) {
$('#url_getter').button('reset');
if(data){
$('#site').contents().find("body").html( data);
} else {
alert('Something went wrong please try again');
}
},
cache: false
});
},
rules : {
site_url : {
required : true,
url: true
}
},
messages : {
site_url : {
required : "Please enter your site address",
}
},
errorPlacement : function(error, element) {
$(element).closest('.form-group').find('.help-block').html(error.html());
},
highlight : function(element) {
$(element).closest('.form-group').removeClass('has-success').addClass('has-error');
},
success : function(element, lab) {
var messages = new Array("That's Great!", "Looks good!", "You got it!", "Great Job!", "Smart!", "That's it!");
var num = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6);
$(lab).closest('.form-group').find('.help-block').text(messages[num]);
$(lab).addClass('valid').closest('.form-group').removeClass('has-error').addClass('has-success');
}
});
});
