Connect Via Proxy To URL With PHP

Hey guys,

I need software that will use a proxy to connect to a URL.

I'm not making a proxy browsing script, nor anything illegal. I just need it for testing purposes.

Anyone know how to do this simply inside of PHP?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

 

You can use cURL.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://your-url.com');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'your-proxy-server');
curl_setopt($ch, /*other options you need */);

PHP:

www.php.net/curl

 

If you have no curl, you can use file_get_contents + stream_context_create:

<?

$opts = array('http' => array('proxy' => 'tcp://proxyserver:80', 'request_fulluri' => true));
$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$s = file_get_contents('http://www.google.com', false, $context);

echo $s;
?>

PHP:

 

Thanks a lot guys. I'll test those out.

 

sorry for the revival, but how can I have that script read a list of proxies? i do not want an array, but rather to read a list of proxies from a txt file

 

<?php

$proxyfile = "proxies.txt";

$fh = fopen($proxyfile, "r");
if($fh)
{
 while(!feof($fh))
 {
   $proxies = fread($fh, filesize($proxies));
 }
 fclose($fh);
}

print $proxies;
?>

PHP:

I think that should do it. Didn't test it though.

Let me know.

Scott
