descargando archivos con php curl

Feb 25, 2013 3 Comments by

Una forma sencilla y eficiente para descargar archivos con curl, es crear un nuevo recurso de archivo y asociarlo a curl a través de la opción CURLOPT_FILE con curl_setopt. El siguiente ejemplo primero se autentifica contra un supuesto sitio (capturando las cookies) y luego procede a descargar el archivo (que requiere autentificación).

<?php

// Data for the login
$raw_post = "&". http_build_query(array("user" => "deerme"));
$raw_post .= "&". http_build_query(array("passwd" => "xdxdxd"));

// Login
$ch = curl_init('http://www.example.com/login.aspx');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS , $raw_post );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookie.txt');
$buffer = curl_exec($ch);

// Download the file
$fp = fopen("/tmp/report.xls", 'w+');
$ch = curl_init("http://www.example.com/report/get-auth-report.aspx");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_exec($ch);

    Hi Sergio, Generally The IP cameras require some type of authentication, normally the WWW-Authenticate: Basic.

    The next code, it tries to download a picture from a site that requests basic authentication.

    <?php
    /**
     * Download a image from IP Camera
     * It's just a small example.
     *
     * @link                        http:// deerme. org/php/descargando-archivos-con-php-curl
     *                              http:// deerme. org/php/capturar-datos-de-otra-web-en-php
     * @author                      deerme.org
     */
    
    $camera_url = "http: // 192.168.1.120 :8080/jpg/image.jpg";
    $camera_user = "admin";
    $camera_passwd = "123456";
    
    // Download the file
    $fp = fopen("image.jpg", 'w+');
    $ch = curl_init($camera_url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $camera_user . ":" . $camera_passwd);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
    curl_exec($ch);
    

    PD: Remeber remove the spaces in url (code).

    You can find a backup of this code in https://github.com/deerme/deerme.org/blob/master/php/harvest/curl-example-download-image-from-ip-camera.php
