Informations about the package php-puppeteer
PhpPupeeteer
PhpPupeeteer based on Puppeteer. A Puppeteer bridge for PHP, supporting the entire API. Based on Rialto, a package to manage Node resources from PHP.
Here are some examples borrowed from Puppeteer's documentation and adapted to PHP's syntax:
Example - navigating to https://example.com and saving a screenshot as example.png:
Example - show browser window
Example - evaluate a script in the context of the page:
Requirements and installation
This package requires PHP >= 7.1 and Node >= 8.
Install it with these two command lines:
Notable differences between PhpPupeeteer and Puppeteer
Puppeteer's class must be instanciated
Instead of requiring Puppeteer:
You have to instanciate the PhpPupeeteer class:
This will create a new Node process controlled by PHP.
You can also pass some options to the constructor, see Rialto's documentation. PuPHPeteer also extends these options:
⏱ Want to use some timeouts higher than 30 seconds in Puppeteer's API?
If you use some timeouts higher than 30 seconds, you will have to set a higher value for the `read_timeout` option (default: `35`):
No need to use the await keyword
With PhpPupeeteer, every method call or property getting/setting is synchronous.
Some methods have been aliased
The following methods have been aliased because PHP doesn't support the $ character in method names:
$=>querySelector$$=>querySelectorAll$x=>querySelectorXPath$eval=>querySelectorEval$$eval=>querySelectorAllEval
Use these aliases just like you would have used the original methods:
Evaluated functions must be created with \PhpPupeeteer\Data\Js
Functions evaluated in the context of the page must be written with the JsFunction class, the body of these functions must be written in JavaScript instead of PHP.
Exceptions must be catched with ->tryCatch
If an error occurs in Node, a Node\FatalException will be thrown and the process closed, you will have to create a new instance of Puppeteer.
To avoid that, you can ask Node to catch these errors by prepending your instruction with ->tryCatch:
Instead, a Node\Exception will be thrown, the Node process will stay alive and usable.
