如何使用 get_contents 提供我的凭据？ php

Question

I have looked at some examples and they use Curl in php etc but I just want a simple command that passes my credentials to a site so it can login and give me access to download a file. Current problem is when I try to use get_contents I get stuck at login page because it needs a login before it can allow a download so isnt there a way to send my login info before get_contents in php? Thanks

for example we can assume the website is located at www.confluence.com

Answer 1

You're out of luck. file_get_contents() can only get content, hence the name. You can try to authenticate via the get syntax for standard authentication, like http://username:password@example.com .

If you have to post your credentials via HTTP POST, you'll have to use curl.

Answer 2

The problem is that when you log in the server send to your browser a cookies that your browser automatically stores. With file_get_content() you can actually pass cookies ( the third context parameter of file_get_content() can handle this).

Have a look at stream context create . By the way, you need to first send your login info to the login page (with curl ), when you recive cookies back, pass them as option to file_get_content() and the trick is done.

If the server is using a login system different from cookies let us know, so we can help you
