FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package puphpeteer
PuPHPeteer
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 - evaluate a script in the context of the page:
Requirements and installation
This package requires PHP >= 7.3 and Node >= 8.
Install it with these two command lines:
Notable differences between PuPHPeteer and Puppeteer
Puppeteer's class must be instantiated
Instead of requiring Puppeteer:
You have to instantiate the Puppeteer 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 PuPHPeteer, 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 JsFunction
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 caught 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.
Puppeteer-Extra integration
Puppeteer is been replaced by puppeteer-extra, with stealth and recaptcha plugins enabled by default.
