PHP Making an archive?

[Tom8001]

I am curious on how i can create an archive like this,

 

http://d3ltasecurity.com/defaces/

That site inserts a url in a post form, a script visits the url and saves the html as a local file, records saved in a database linking the url to html file.

[Tom8001]

how would you actually do this? the only way i can think of is by using file_get_contents(); and saving the html into a file, would this work?

You could either use file_get_contents() with the allow_url_fopen config setting turned on, or you could just use CURL and save the response.

[Tom8001]

how can you save it with CURL?

[Tom8001]

I don't understand how i can make this work

[Tom8001]

So, when the person enters a URL and the form is submitted, how can you save the webpage as a local file?

Have a look at the manual. http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-exec.php

I'm new to learning curl and have a few errors, this is my code

<?php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") 
{
    
    $url = $_POST['url'];
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $destination = "archive";
    $file = fopen($destination, "w+");
    fputs($file, $data);
    fclose($file);

}

?>

I'm trying to get the script to download a web page from a URL that has been entered in the HTML form.

 

I'm getting these errors:

 

Warning: fopen(archive): failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\xampp\htdocs\defaces\index.php on line 14

Warning: fputs() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\defaces\index.php on line 15
 

Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\defaces\index.php on line 16

You are trying to write to a directory and not a file

 

$destination = "archive";

[Tom8001]

I want to get the webpage and save it locally to the archive directory

[QuickOldCar]

fputs(file,string,length)

 

so you need the directory location and also a file name to save the data to

 

$destination = "archive/source_1.html";

[Tom8001]

I got it to work fine, but i want to save the file with the url name in it and i am using the $url variable to do it and i get these errors,

 

here is my code

<?php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") 
{
    
    $url = $_POST['url'];
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $destination = "archive/".$url.""; // The error is coming from here, i put it as archive/source_1.html and it saved fine into the directory, but this gives me an error Warning: fopen(archive/http://example.com): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\xampp\htdocs\defaces\index.php on line 14
    $file = fopen($destination, "w+");
    fputs($file, $data, strlen($data));
    fclose($file);

}

?>

Errors:

Warning: fopen(archive/http://example.com): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in  C:\xampp\htdocs\defaces\index.php on line 14

Warning: fputs() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\defaces\index.php on line 15

Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\defaces\index.php on line 16

nvm i fixed it

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") 
{
    
    $url = $_POST['url'];
    $rand = rand();
    
    $url = preg_replace('#^https?://#', '', $url);
    
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $destination = "archive/$rand-$url.html";
    $file = fopen($destination, "w+");
    fputs($file, $data, strlen($data));
    fclose($file);

}

?>

Just one more question though, how can i display every website that is submitted, how can i fetch all of them from the directory and echo them with a link. 

 

Like this for example http://d3ltasecurity.com/defaces/archive.php
