A note on how to deal with Cookies
To receive a cookie:
$httphandle = fopen($url,"r");
$meta = stream_get_meta_data($httphandle);
for ($j = 0; isset($meta['wrapper_data'][$j]); $j++) {
$httpline = $meta['wrapper_data'][$j];
@list($header,$parameters) = explode(";",$httpline,2);
@list($attr,$value) = explode(":",$header,2);
if (strtolower(trim($attr)) == "set-cookie") {
$cookie = trim($value);
break;
}
}
fclose($httphandle);
echo $cookie;
To send a cookie:
$user_agent = ini_get("user_agent");
ini_set("user_agent",$user_agent . "\r\nCookie: " . $cookie);
$httphandle = fopen($url,"r");
fclose($httphandle);
ini_set("user_agent",$user_agent);
PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5. https:// since PHP 4.3.0
- http://example.com
- http://example.com/file.php?var1=val1&var2=val2
- http://user:password@example.com
- https://example.com
- https://example.com/file.php?var1=val1&var2=val2
- https://user:password@example.com
Allows read-only access to files/resources via HTTP 1.0, using the HTTP GET method. A Host: header is sent with the request to handle name-based virtual hosts. If you have configured a user_agent string using your ini file or the stream context, it will also be included in the request.
Server Microsoft IIS porušuje při používání SSL komunikační protokol tím, že uzavře spojení bez odeslání indikátoru close_notify. PHP to ohlásí jako "SSL: Fatal Protocol Error", když dosáhne konce toku dat. K vyřešení této situace byste mělo snížit úroveň hlášení chyb (error_reporting) tak, aby nezahrnovala varování. PHP 4.3.7 a vyšší dokáže detekovat chybný software IIS, otevřete-li stream za použití wrapperu https:// a bude automaticky potlačovat příslušná varování. Použijete-li však k vytvoření ssl:// socketu funkci fsockopen(), zůstáváte odpovědni za detekci a potlačení varování.
Redirects have been supported since PHP 4.0.5; if you are using an earlier version you will need to include trailing slashes in your URLs. If it's important to know the URL of the resource where your document came from (after all redirects have been processed), you'll need to process the series of response headers returned by the stream.
<?php
$url = 'http://www.example.com/redirecting_page.php';
$fp = fopen($url, 'r');
/* Prior to PHP 4.3.0 use $http_response_header
instead of stream_get_meta_data() */
$meta_data = stream_get_meta_data($fp);
foreach($meta_data['wrapper_data'] as $response) {
/* Were we redirected? */
if (substr(strtolower($response), 0, 10) == 'location: ') {
/* update $url with where we were redirected to */
$url = substr($response, 18);
}
}
?>
Příklad N.2. Fetch a page and send POST data
<?php
$postdata = http_build_query(
array(
'var1' => 'some content',
'var2' => 'doh'
)
);
$opts = array('http' =>
array(
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'content' => $postdata
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/submit.php', false, $context);
?>
The stream allows access to the body of the resource; the headers are stored in the $http_response_header variable. Since PHP 4.3.0, the headers are available using stream_get_meta_data().
HTTP connections are read-only; you cannot write data or copy files to an HTTP resource.
Poznámka: HTTPS is supported starting from PHP 4.3.0, if you have compiled in support for OpenSSL.
Tabulka N.3. Context options
| Name | Usage | Default |
|---|---|---|
| method | GET, POST, or any other HTTP method supported by the remote server. | GET |
| header | Additional headers to be sent during request. Values in this option will override other values (such as User-agent:, Host:, and Authentication:). | |
| user_agent | Value to send with User-Agent: header. This value will only be used if user-agent is not specified in the header context option above. | php.ini setting: user_agent |
| content | Additional data to be sent after the headers. Typically used with POST or PUT requests. | |
| proxy | URI specifying address of proxy server. (e.g. tcp://proxy.example.com:5100). HTTPS proxying (through HTTP proxies) only works in PHP 5.1.0 or greater. | |
| request_fulluri | When set to TRUE, the entire URI will be used when constructing the request. (i.e. GET http://www.example.com/path/to/file.html HTTP/1.0). While this is a non-standard request format, some proxy servers require it. | FALSE |
| max_redirects | The max number of redirects to follow. Value 1 or less means that no redirects are followed. Added in PHP 5.1.0. | 20 |
| protocol_version | HTTP protocol version. Added in PHP 5.1.0. | 1.0 |
| timeout | Read timeout in seconds, specified by a float (e.g. 10.5). Added in PHP 5.2.1. | default_socket_timeout |
Underlying socket stream context options: Additional context options may be supported by the underlying transport For http:// streams, refer to context options for the tcp:// transport. For https:// streams, refer to context options for the ssl:// transport.
Custom headers may be sent with an HTTP request prior to version 5 by taking advantage of a side-effect in the handling of the user_agent INI setting. Set user_agent to any valid string (such as the default PHP/version setting) followed by a carriage-return/line-feed pair and any additional headers. This method works in PHP 4 and all later versions.
Příklad N.3. Sending custom headers with an HTTP request
<?php
ini_set('user_agent', "PHP\r\nX-MyCustomHeader: Foo");
$fp = fopen('http://www.example.com/index.php', 'r');
?>
Results in the following request being sent:
GET /index.php HTTP/1.0
Host: www.example.com
User-Agent: PHP
X-MyCustomHeader: Foo

just an FYI about digest authentication.
While one of the above http examples has the username and password info supplied with the url, this must only be for basic authentication. it does not appear to work for digest authentication. you have to handle the digest followup request on your own.

HTTP post function;
<?php
function post_it($datastream, $url) {
$url = preg_replace("@^http://@i", "", $url);
$host = substr($url, 0, strpos($url, "/"));
$uri = strstr($url, "/");
$reqbody = "";
foreach($datastream as $key=>$val) {
if (!empty($reqbody)) $reqbody.= "&";
$reqbody.= $key."=".urlencode($val);
}
$contentlength = strlen($reqbody);
$reqheader = "POST $uri HTTP/1.1\r\n".
"Host: $host\n". "User-Agent: PostIt\r\n".
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n".
"Content-Length: $contentlength\r\n\r\n".
"$reqbody\r\n";
$socket = fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errstr);
if (!$socket) {
$result["errno"] = $errno;
$result["errstr"] = $errstr;
return $result;
}
fputs($socket, $reqheader);
while (!feof($socket)) {
$result[] = fgets($socket, 4096);
}
fclose($socket);
return $result;
}
?>

If you want to send more than one custom header, just make header an array:
<?php
$default_opts = array(
'http' => array(
'user_agent' => 'Foobar',
'header' => array(
'X-Foo: Bar',
'X-Bar: Baz'
)
)
);
stream_context_get_default($default_opts);
readfile('http://www.xhaus.com/headers');
?>

As it says on this page:
"The stream allows access to the body of the resource; the headers are stored in the $http_response_header variable. Since PHP 4.3.0, the headers are available using stream_get_meta_data()."
This one sentence is the only documentation I have found on the mysterious $http_response_header variable, and I'm afraid it's misleading. It implies that from 4.3.0 onward, stream_get_meta_data() ought to be used in favor of $http_response_header.
Don't be fooled! stream_get_meta_data() requires a stream reference, which makes it ONLY useful with fopen() and related functions. However, $http_response_header can be used to get the headers from the much simpler file_get_contents() and related functions, which makes it still very useful in 5.x.
Also note that even when file_get_contents() and friends fail due to a 4xx or 5xx error and return false, the headers are still available in $http_response_header.
