Monte Ohrt wrote a new PHP class called Snoopy which implements web client functionality, like fetching pages and submitting forms. Some of Snoopy's features: * easily fetch the contents of a web page * easily fetch the text from a web page (strip html tags) * easily fetch the the links from a web page * supports proxy hosts * supports basic user/pass authentication * supports setting user_agent, referer, cookies and header content * supports browser redirects, and controlled depth of redirects * expands fetched links to fully qualified URLs (default) * easily submit form data and retrieve the results On the TODO list: * fetch other types of protocols such as ftp, nntp, gopher, etc. * post forms with http file upload (I didn't have this need, but it should be fairly straightforward) * expand links, image tags, and form actions to fully qualified URLs -Andrey * Only 19,999 lines of C++ to my next ski trip... *
