Source of a local iframe as a php variable to be saved to txt file.

[Xproterg^vi]

I am wondering how might one save the source of a localhost iframe to a text file?

 

The

 

$source = file_get_contents(view-source:http://mysite.com/);

 

Doesn't work... Any tips?

$source = file_get_contents("http://mysite.com/"); 

 

will return the source...

Yes it does, and I can get that to work. I need to get around the same domain policy to work with local files. I'm writing a whitepaper on this particular security idea.

 

<?php $DEFAULT_FILE = "index.php"; ?>
<?php $url=fopen("url.txt","r"); ?>
<?php $file = fgets($url); ?>
<?php
  if (isset($file)) {
    $file2 = $file;
    echo "<div class=\"source\">\n";
    $content=file_get_contents($file2);
    echo $content;
    echo "</div>\n";
    } else {
    $file = $DEFAULT_FILE;
  }
?>


<?php
$filename = substr($file2,7) . ".html";

if (is_writable($filename)) {

if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
        echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
        exit;
  }

   if (fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE) {
       echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
       exit;
   }

   echo "Success, wrote ($content) to file ($filename)";

   fclose($handle);

} else {
   echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}
?>

 

As you can see, the code works. However, if I use this script, it will not keep the session that I have with the external site alive because the IP is from my server and not from myself. So I'm looking to do this through other avenues. The view-source:http://site.com/ is one of those avenues.

Why are you using all of the PHP blocks when it can all be contained within one block?

Good question... No real answer for it.

How would view-source sort the problem? I don't actually think view-source is anything more than a browser command? (Though it's not actually supported in IE) .. I think sending view-source at the start of the file_get_contents function would just cause it to fail?
