What that? Somekind of program to Ubuntu?

 

Ehm, i didnt mean it that way..

Cant i make a system that gets thé source from everypage?

 

If im making an input field in a form and postes for example 'http://javascript.com', then il' get the html source from the page in a variable?

You can open a socket on port 80 to make the target's webserver send you the page source.

 

For example:

<?php
    $website = "phpfreaks.com";
    $fp = fsockopen ($website, 80);

    if ($fp) {
        fwrite($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHOST:$website\r\n\r\n");

        while (!feof($fp)) {
            print fread($fp,256);
        }

        fclose ($fp);
    } else {
        print "Fatal error\n";
    }
?> 

 

That code should print out the source of whatever URL the $website variable is set to.

 

For more information read the excellent socket guide at http://tuxradar.com/practicalphp/15/1/0 . That code I posted is from there mostly

Sockets is one way, an alternative is to use file_get_contents. Eg

$HTML_Source = file_get_contents('http://somesite.com');

echo '<textarea>'.$HTML_Source.'</textarea>';

As long as we are posting alternatives, here is another, using the Curl library.

 

      function getRawHtml($webpage){
	$curl = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $webpage);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

	$stuff = curl_exec($curl);
	return $stuff;
}

 

by the way, you can't get the PHP when doing either of these. You only get the HTML that the PHP (or other server side language) generates. You can't get the PHP, and frankly, thats theft. If people could just steal other sites PHP (basically the stuff that makes the site a good site) dont you think we'd be seeing a lot of facebook /google clones out there?

Hi kla0005,

 

If you could provide a bit more detail about what you're trying to accomplish, it would be easier for us to give you a more detailed and solid solution.
