下面是PHP + curl的一些样板代码 http://www.webbotsspidersscreenscrapers.com/DSP_download.php

包含在这些库中将简化开发

<?php
# Initialization
include("LIB_http.php");
include("LIB_parse.php");
$product_array=array();
$product_count=0;

# Download the target (store) web page
$target = "http://www.tellmewhenitchanges.com/buyair";
$web_page = http_get($target, "");
    ...
?>

程序上的

// set post fields
$post = [
    'username' => 'user1',
    'password' => 'passuser1',
    'gender'   => 1,
];

$ch = curl_init('http://www.example.com');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);

// execute!
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// close the connection, release resources used
curl_close($ch);

// do anything you want with your response
var_dump($response);

面向对象的

<?php

// mutatis mutandis
namespace MyApp\Http;

class CurlPost
{
    private $url;
    private $options;
           
    /**
     * @param string $url     Request URL
     * @param array  $options cURL options
     */
    public function __construct($url, array $options = [])
    {
        $this->url = $url;
        $this->options = $options;
    }

    /**
     * Get the response
     * @return string
     * @throws \RuntimeException On cURL error
     */
    public function __invoke(array $post)
    {
        $ch = \curl_init($this->url);
        
        foreach ($this->options as $key => $val) {
            \curl_setopt($ch, $key, $val);
        }

        \curl_setopt($ch, \CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        \curl_setopt($ch, \CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);

        $response = \curl_exec($ch);
        $error    = \curl_error($ch);
        $errno    = \curl_errno($ch);
        
        if (\is_resource($ch)) {
            \curl_close($ch);
        }

        if (0 !== $errno) {
            throw new \RuntimeException($error, $errno);
        }
        
        return $response;
    }
}

使用

// create curl object
$curl = new \MyApp\Http\CurlPost('http://www.example.com');

try {
    // execute the request
    echo $curl([
        'username' => 'user1',
        'password' => 'passuser1',
        'gender'   => 1,
    ]);
} catch (\RuntimeException $ex) {
    // catch errors
    die(sprintf('Http error %s with code %d', $ex->getMessage(), $ex->getCode()));
}

旁注:最好是使用getResponse()方法创建某种名为AdapterInterface的接口，并让上面的类实现它。然后，您总是可以将这个实现与您喜欢的另一个适配器交换，而不会对应用程序产生任何副作用。

使用HTTPS /加密流量

在Windows操作系统下，PHP中的cURL通常会有问题。在尝试连接到受https保护的端点时，您将得到一个错误，告诉您证书验证失败。

大多数人在这里做的是告诉cURL库简单地忽略证书错误并继续(curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);)。因为这将使你的代码正常工作，你引入了巨大的安全漏洞，并使恶意用户能够对你的应用程序执行各种攻击，如Man In The Middle攻击或类似的攻击。

永远，永远不要那样做。相反，你只需要修改你的PHP .ini，并告诉PHP你的CA证书文件在哪里，让它正确地验证证书:

; modify the absolute path to the cacert.pem file
curl.cainfo=c:\php\cacert.pem

最新的音乐会。pem可以从互联网上下载，也可以从您喜欢的浏览器中提取。当更改任何php.ini相关设置时，记得重新启动web服务器。

发送表单和原始数据的示例:

$curlHandler = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curlHandler, [
    CURLOPT_URL => 'https://postman-echo.com/post',
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,

    /**
     * Specify POST method
     */
    CURLOPT_POST => true,

    /**
     * Specify array of form fields
     */
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => [
        'foo' => 'bar',
        'baz' => 'biz',
    ],
]);

$response = curl_exec($curlHandler);

curl_close($curlHandler);

echo($response);

curlPost('google.com', [
    'username' => 'admin',
    'password' => '12345',
]);


function curlPost($url, $data) {
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $error = curl_error($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    if ($error !== '') {
        throw new \Exception($error);
    }

    return $response;
}

一个使用php curl_exec来做一个HTTP post的实例:

把它放在一个名为foobar.php的文件中:

<?php
  $ch = curl_init();
  $skipper = "luxury assault recreational vehicle";
  $fields = array( 'penguins'=>$skipper, 'bestpony'=>'rainbowdash');
  $postvars = '';
  foreach($fields as $key=>$value) {
    $postvars .= $key . "=" . $value . "&";
  }
  $url = "http://www.google.com";
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, 1);                //0 for a get request
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postvars);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT ,3);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
  $response = curl_exec($ch);
  print "curl response is:" . $response;
  curl_close ($ch);
?>

然后用php foobar.php命令运行它，它会将这样的输出转储到屏幕上:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Title</title>

<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0">
<body>
  A mountain of content...
</body>
</html>

因此，您执行了一个PHP POST到www.google.com，并向其发送了一些数据。

如果服务器被编程为读入post变量，它可以基于此决定做一些不同的事情。
