We all have been in situations were we need content or information from a connected website, but have no access to a REST Api or any other backend feed.
In these cases screen scraping is the only option to get needed information to finalize an integration. You can do that directly in CURL, but that can be tedious. Far easier to use a nicely packaged solution that combines a component that simulates web browser behavior and a component that eases DOM navigation for HTML and XML documents. Meet Goutte!
Install via composer.
1 | composer require fabpot/goutte |
Login into a website and navigate to the page that has your needed information
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 | $client = new Client(); $crawler = $client->request('GET', 'https://www.page/login.php'); // select the form and fill in some values $form = $crawler->selectButton('Login')->form(); $form['f_loginname'] = 'HelloMe'; $form['f_loginpass'] = 'securepass'; // submit that form $crawler = $client->submit($form); // go to next page $crawler = $client->request('GET', 'https://www.page.de/overview.php'); |
Get the data you need.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | // loop over html and filter out what you need $crawler->filter('table.clients tr')->each(function ($node) { $node->filter('td')->each(function ($sub_node) { echo $sub_node->html(); } } |

PHP dotenv loads environment variables from .env to getenv(), $_ENV and $_SERVER automagically.
You should never store sensitive credentials in your code. Anything that is likely to change between deployment environments – such as database credentials or credentials for 3rd party services – should be extracted from the code into environment variables.
Add your application configuration to a .env file in the root of your project. Make sure the .env file is added to your .gitignore so it is not being checked-in.
1 2 | S3_BUCKET="dotenv" SECRET_KEY="souper_seekret_key" |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | $dotenv = new Dotenv\Dotenv(__DIR__); $dotenv->load(); // OR WITH filename $dotenv = new Dotenv\Dotenv(__DIR__, 'myconfig'); $dotenv->load(); |
1 2 3 | $s3_bucket = getenv('S3_BUCKET'); $s3_bucket = $_ENV['S3_BUCKET']; $s3_bucket = $_SERVER['S3_BUCKET']; |

Paw is a full-featured HTTP client that lets you test the APIs you build or consume. It has a beautiful native OS X interface to compose requests, inspect server responses and generate client code out-of-the-box.
This is one of my go-to tools, when test-driving my API endpoints.

Papa Parse is the powerful, in-browser CSV parser for big boys and girls :)
If you do need easy CSV parsing and conversion back to CSV, take a look at it!

Some time ago I said: “My perfect framework, is a set of solid singular solutions that have proven themselves over the years. Working solo or together in harmony”.
Here is a list of some of my core components, that I use in combination or standalone.
1 2 3 | define('jquery', [], function() { return jQuery; }); |
NOW you can live happily ever after :)
This is basically the core stack that I use to build out ideas :) While Angular is always an option, the above satisfies most of all needs and is often far slimmer. The rest depends on how you organize your code yourself, but at least you are not forced into fixed structures ;)

Conditional Tags are a powerful thing in WordPress and especially handy to show or hide things.
“The Conditional Tags can be used in your Template files to change what content is displayed and how that content is displayed on a particular page depending on what conditions that page matches. ”
Two plugins are part of my essentials, that utilize the Conditional Tags:
You can easily define your own Conditional Tags in your functions.php or plugin.
