Folks, I found this piece of code on my notes. Cannot remember where I grabbed it from. It is supposed to fetch a page and grab it's meta details and display them on screen. Question is: What is this error I am getting ? Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: DOMDocument::loadHTML() expects parameter 1 to be string, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\curl\filter.php:31 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\curl\filter.php(31): DOMDocument->loadHTML(false) #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\curl\filter.php on line 31 <?php /* ERROR HANDLING */ declare(strict_types=1); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1'); error_reporting(E_ALL); mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT); function file_get_contents_curl($url) { $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $data; } $html = file_get_contents_curl("https://www.google.com/search?q=dirty+harry&oq=dirty+harry&aqs=chrome..69i57.2604j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8"); //parsing begins here: $doc = new DOMDocument(); @$doc->loadHTML($html); $nodes = $doc->getElementsByTagName('title'); //get and display what you need: $title = $nodes->item(0)->nodeValue; $metas = $doc->getElementsByTagName('meta'); for ($i = 0; $i < $metas->length; $i++) { $meta = $metas->item($i); if($meta->getAttribute('name') == 'description') $description = $meta->getAttribute('content'); if($meta->getAttribute('name') == 'keywords') $keywords = $meta->getAttribute('content'); } echo "Title: $title".

Hi I try to echo out random lines of a html file and want after submit password to whole content of the same html file. I have two Problems. 1st Problem When I echo out the random lines of the html file I don't get just the text but the code of the html file as well. I don't want that. I just want the text. How to do that? for($x = 1;$x<=40;$x++) { $lines = file("$filename.html"); echo $lines[rand(0, count($lines)-1)]."<br>"; } I tried instead of "file("$filename.html");" "readfile("$filename.html");" But then I get the random lines plus the whole content. Is there anything else I can use instead of file so that I get the random lines of text without the html code?P.S file_get_contents doesn't work either have tried that one. 2nd Problem: As you could see in my first problem I have a file called $filename.html. After I submit the value of a password I want the whole content. But it is like the program did forget what $filename.html is. How can I make the program remember what $filename.html is? Or with other words how to get the whole content of the html file? My code: if($_POST['submitPasswordIT']){ if ($_POST['passIT']== $password ){ $my_file = file_get_contents("$filename.html"); echo $my_file; } else{ echo "You entered wrong password"; } } If the password isn't correct I get: You entered wrong password. If the password is correct I get nothing. I probably need to create a path to the file "$filename.html", but I don't know exactly how to do that. // get the filename of the file $fileinfo = pathinfo($selected_file); $filename = $fileinfo['dirname'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $fileinfo['filename']; You may need this lines to: $selected_file = $_POST['radio1']; // get the filename of the file $fileinfo = pathinfo($selected_file); $filename = $fileinfo['dirname'] . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $fileinfo['filename']; Help would be very much appreciated.

Folks, Can you figure-out why the following script fails to find the banned words on the page when the banned words are listed in an array ? <?php /* ERROR HANDLING */ //declare(strict_types=1); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1'); error_reporting(E_ALL); mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT); // 1). $curl is going to be data type curl resource. $curl = curl_init(); // 2). Set cURL options. curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-68-words-you-cant-say-on-tv?utm_term=.xlN0R1Go89#.pbdl8dYm3X'); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); // 3). Run cURL (execute http request). $result = curl_exec($curl); $response = curl_getinfo( $curl ); if( $response['http_code'] == '200' ) { //Set banned words. $banned_words = array("Prick","Dick","Fag"); //Separate each words found on the cURL fetched page. $word = explode(" ", $result); //var_dump($word); for($i = 0; $i <= count($word); $i++){ foreach ($banned_words as $ban) { if (stripos($word[$i],$ban) !== FALSE){ echo "word: $word[$i]<br />"; echo "Match: $ban<br>"; }else{ echo "word: $word[$i]<br />"; echo "No Match: $ban<br>"; } } } } // 4). Close cURL resource. curl_close($curl); Remember the banned words exist on the page. And No. It is not because the banned words are not text but imgs as I checked the source code of the page and the banned words do exist as text. Check it out yourself, if you have any doubts. I hope it is not because this was set to false: curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true); Setting it to "true", how-ever, shows a complete blank page. Why ? Must it not be set to "true" since the page is "httpS" anyway!
