I have a big problem and I could not find any help in other Forums.
My problem:
I make a Android App for a swimming club.
One function of the App is to manage the swimmer.
So i like to find automatically they best swimming time with only their names.
There is a website with this function :
http://www.dsv.de/schwimmen/wettkampf-national/schwimmerabfrage/
There I must insert a first name(Vorname) and a surname (Nachname) and confirm this with a button. For example: Paul Biedermann.
Then I must click on best times (Bestzeiten) on the right and then i see a table with all the information.
And i like to find the information with PHP and safe it to my Databank.
This was my try:
<?php
$url = 'https://dsvdaten.dsv.de/Modules/Results/Individual.aspx?Lang=de-DE';
$data = array('_firstnameTextBox' => 'vorname', '_lastnameTextBox' => 'nachname');
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
",
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($data)
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($options);
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
if ($result === FALSE) { /* Handle error */ }
var_dump($result);
?>
But I do not figure out how I get the table of this site.
So I have created this function called get_cookie. Right now it just returns the contents of that page. The code works, as when I echo the page, it shows I logged in successfully.
So I have 2 questions
What do I need to put as the return value, in the get_cookie function to get the cookie?
How do I parse in a cookie when I make another request?
<?php
function get_cookie($url, $username, $password) {
$data = [
"username" => $username,
"password" => $password,
];
$dataString = http_build_query($data);
$ch = <em>curl</em>_init();
<em>curl</em>_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
<em>curl</em>_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($data));
<em>curl</em>_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $dataString);
<em>curl</em>_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
return <em>curl</em>_exec($ch);
}
$url = "https://www.example.com/login";
$username = "user";
$password = "pass";
echo get_cookie($url, $username, $password);
?>
