mavera2 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I'm sorry if this is a silly question. When user logins to some other site, he gets a member page. Without login he gets a guest page. I want to write a code that takes member page and parses it, then shows user some parts of it user will select which parts to see. but when i use "file_get_contents", output becomes a guest page, i suppose it is because my php server takes it without user's login data. Is it possible to take member page and parse it ? Because i don't want user to give his login information to my site. Thank you very much for your help.

Buddski Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 So you are trying to read a websites 'members section' into your own website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavera2 Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 i won't use the member info for myself. i will parse it and show the user with a cleaner interface. you know twitter and facebook provides you with authorizing your application with user's approval. but most of the websites doesn't provide authorizing or apis.

.josh Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 you will need to use curl instead of file_get_contents, to automate setting cookies and logging into the member area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 The user will have to submit their password to you at some point, or you will have no way to access their information. If you could access those pages without the user submitting their password, anyone could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mavera2 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 It's possible with curl() if they give yo their passwords thank you for help xyph. I suppose that i must use javascript to get the member's contents. Then send the data to php server parse it and show it with my interface. Is there some similar example or which commands should i look for. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
