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.

Informations about the package arachnid

Arachnid Web Crawler

This library will crawl all unique internal links found on a given website up to a specified maximum page depth.

This library is based on the original blog post by Zeid Rashwani here:

http://zrashwani.com/simple-web-spider-php-goutte

Josh Lockhart adapted the original blog post's code (with permission) for Composer and Packagist and updated the syntax to conform with the PSR-2 coding standard.

Getting Started

Here's a quick demo to crawl a website:

You can set crawler to visit only pages with specific criteria by specifying callback closure using filterLinks method:

<?php
//filter links according to specific callback as closure
$links = $crawler->filterLinks(function($link){
                    //crawling only blog links
                    return (bool)preg_match('/.*\/blog.*$/u',$link); 
                })
                ->traverse()
                ->getLinks();
