FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

php-webminer -- Extract data using Selenium, QueryPath and PHP

DESCRIPTION

The goal of this project is to create an extensible system for extracting data from web pages. Currently it is using Selenium WebDriver (via php-webdriver), QueryPath, and a configuration file which specifies which components to extract and how to output the results.

Job File

The "job" configuration file defines all of the aspects of the system (database, infrastructure) and the web site and the data you wish to extract.

It is in XML and has the following options:

  1. Child element "site" must be defined
  2. Child element "steps" are recommended as they drive actions

Database

Currently a single MySQL database is accepted. If elements are defind the XML will be imported into the database->table per the specifications in the Configuration File

Actions

  1. Click
  2. Type
  3. Captcha

Elements

  1. Input - CSS Selectors used by QueryPath to pull data from a web page
  2. Output - Element name of Output XML

Samples are included in the /examples folder.

Outputs XML
