pH7Client is a wonderful tool if you need to automate tasks (like posting articles every day to your blog, add message in a member area, etc) and save lot of times everyday! 😃 Yes! The pH7Client bot can do almost everything (you just need to create some rules and need to know the input name of the website's forms). In fact, it's a PHP Web client class that simulates a Web browser for retrieving webpage content, login to websites and posting forms, ...
Finally, you have created rules that you want to automate by pH7Client, you need to setup a cron for executing the script every X time on a server (Type crontab -e
on your server Linux terminal, then add the desired cron jobs and save it). Once finished, go to the beach, order a mojito and enjoy your REAL free time that you really deserved!
You can add it easily in your project by using Composer.
composer require ph-7/ph7client
Then, include Composer's autoload
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
If you don't use Composer, you can install it without Composer by simply including the class
require 'PH7Client.php';
use PH7\External\Http\Client\PH7Client;
$sUrl = 'http://ph2date-soft-example.com';
$sRequest1 = 'user/login/';
$sRequest2 = 'user/message_box/myuser920';
$sUser = 'test@ph2date.com';
$sPass = 'testpass123';
$sBody = "Hey! What's up today? Psst! I'm a bot but I may understand you...";
$oWebClient = new PH7Client($sUrl);
/***** Log a user *****/
$aLogin = [
'identity' => $sUser,
'password' => $sPass,
'remember' => 'on',
'submit' => 'Login'
];
// Login the user
$oWebClient->post($sRequest1, $aLogin);
// Submit the form
$oWebClient->send();
/***** Send a message *****/
$aMsg = ['message' => $sBody];
// Send the message
$oWebClient->post($sRequest2, ['message' => $sBody])->setHeader(false)->send();
echo $oWebClient->getResponse(); // Will show the successful message telling you that your msg has been send
