I am trying to access data of http://www.bbb.org/us/Find-Business-Reviews/ with cURL. Now I used HTTPFox to see what data does this site send and accordingly made an array to "POST" to the page. But I am having problem in accessing Page 2,3,4,5...
Here is the array -
$array = Array();
$array['__EVENTTARGET'] = 'ctl12$gc1$s$gridResults$ctl23$pagerLinkButton2';
$array['__EVENTARGUMENT'] = '';
$array['__LASTFOCUS'] = '';
$array['__VIEWSTATEFIELDCOUNT'] = 6;
$array['__VIEWSTATE'] = $View_state;
$array['__VIEWSTATE1'] = $View_state1;
$array['__VIEWSTATE2'] = $View_state2;
$array['__VIEWSTATE3'] = $View_state3;
$array['__VIEWSTATE4'] = $View_state4;
$array['__VIEWSTATE5'] = $View_state5;
$array['ctl12$qn$quickSearch'] = "";
$array['ctl12$qn$TextBoxWatermarkExtender1_ClientState'] = "";
$array['ctl12$gc1$s$txtSearch'] = "tax";
$array['ctl12$gc1$s$CityTextBox'] = "";
$array['ctl12$gc1$s$ddlState'] = "";
$array['ctl12$gc1$s$ZipTextBox'] = 10292;
$array['ctl12$gc1$s$ddlSort'] = "SCORE DESC";
But I am always getting the same error - "Could not resolve host: www.bbb.org(; No data record of requested type"
Here is the cURL function I am using
function cURL($url, $header=NULL, $p=NULL) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, $header);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
if ($p) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $p);
}
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ($result) {
return $result;
} else {
return curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
}
