Facebook like fetch url data using PHP Curl, Jquery and Ajax

Post Views: 393

Hi guys ..

Here I am going to share how to fetch/extract url datas like title , description and images from a website like facebook attach url module

I have used PHP curl to fetch the webpage content as a string. And I have used PHP Domdocument object to extract the meta title and description part.

Finally I have used preg_match_all function to fetch images from the webpage

here is the code below

  2. The demo currently didn’t work shows message ”

    Update Your Browser | Facebook
    ” .
    As I see it returns Title and description Only .
    I already have code that return only FaceBook upper and footer Div no page contents at all . I don’t know why but I think that data scrapped using Ajax o native Javascript codes .

  24. Thanks for so quick reply.
    I don’t understand that example can run only on server. After uplouding it to my localhost (Vertrigo Server) it started work. But with errors

    Notice: Undefined variable: description in
    VertrigoServwwwcurl_fetch.php on line 69 and on line 91

  25. I downloaded example, but it doesn’t work at all.
    After submitting FireBug sad that:

    Node cannot be inserted at the specified point in the hierarchy

    b[0]&&b[0].ownerDocument||c);var h=[],…a:a+”px”)}}),a.jQuery=a.$=f})(window);

    jquery-1.6.1.min.js

    Maybe jQuery not fresh?

    • when you trying to open the file

      if you getting the following:
      Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init()

      It is maybe for one of these reasons

      If this is with a hosting company, you will need to have them install/enable it.

      If this is a Windows based system, CURL can be enabled by uncommenting the curl extension line in the php.ini file – extension=php_curl.dll and restarting the web server.

      If this is Unix/Linux, PHP must be compiled with CURL support and the libcurl library must be installed.
