Pause and Resume CasperJS, PhantomJS Script

Question

I am using in PHP the library PhantomJS with CasperJS for automatize a web workflow.

How Can I "Pause" the script, saving all the resource, do something with the content and after resume it?

Example: 1 - load a website. 2 - get info of the page, exit the script and do your stuff in php for example. 3 - go back to the same page without reloading it , and continue javascript and navigation.

Right now I have to reask for the last page, and that is the problem.

Answer 1

You cannot pause execution, but you can certainly call your PHP script from CasperJS/PhantomJS through the Child Process Module . Save the content in some temporary file using the File System Module and pass the temporary filename to the PHP script.
