CURL alternative to fopen - revisited

Hello!

There is already a thread that was created that touched on this issue, but it was locked.

My host provider is no longer allowing fopen and fgets command calls due to security issues and CURL was suggested as an alternative method to achieve the same results.

Here is a snippet of the code which is giving errors in my php script:

Code:


if($address!='')
{
	$fp  = fopen($address,"r");
	$i=0;
	while($i<1000){
		$html_data.=fgets($fp);
		$i++;
}

I know this is probably a very simple fix, but my knowledge of CURL is limited at best, any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

Very easy to use! :tu:

Darn, i tried this but I don't get the result as the prior script

PHP Code:

    if($address!='')

{    

                $fp = curl_init();

                curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_URL, $address);

                curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

                curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, true);

                curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);

                curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 3);

                curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);

                curl_setopt($fp, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Connection: close'));

 
                $html_data = curl_exec($fp);

}

The page renders blank! Any suggestions?

This should work :)

PHP Code:

    $curlurl = 'http://something.com';

 
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $curlurl);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $curlurl);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, getenv('HTTP_USER_AGENT'));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

$curlresult = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

 
echo($curlresult);
