Hi!
I'm into a little project where I want to retrieve data from the swedish news website DN's SOS Live page (http://www.dn.se/nyheter/soslive).
On the page there is an iFrame and there is the data I want to retrieve. The iFrame address is: http://div.dn.se/dn/sos/soslive.php?id= ... er/soslive
Here is the code I have and it stoped working yesterday.
function curl_download($Url){
// is cURL installed yet?
if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
die('Sorry cURL is not installed!');
}
// OK cool - then let's create a new cURL resource handle
$ch = curl_init();
// Now set some options (most are optional)
// Set URL to download
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
// Set a referer
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.dn.se");
// User agent
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
// Include header in result? (0 = yes, 1 = no)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// Should cURL return or print out the data? (true = return, false = print)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Timeout in seconds
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
// Download the given URL, and return output
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// Close the cURL resource, and free system resources
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}
$sosURL = 'http://div.dn.se/dn/sos/soslive.php?id=p://www.dn.se/nyheter/soslive';
$data = curl_download($sosURL);
The data variable is empty.
I notice now that when I enter the webaddress "http://div.dn.se/dn/sos/soslive.php?id=p://www.dn.se/nyheter/soslive" there is no content, although this is the web address in the iFrame.
How has DN solved this and how could I get around it?
Best regards
Stefan
