Folks,
Can you figure-out why the following script fails to find the banned words on the page when the banned words are listed in an array ?
<?php
/*
ERROR HANDLING
*/
//declare(strict_types=1);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
// 1). $curl is going to be data type curl resource.
$curl = curl_init();
// 2). Set cURL options.
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/the-68-words-you-cant-say-on-tv?utm_term=.xlN0R1Go89#.pbdl8dYm3X');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
// 3). Run cURL (execute http request).
$result = curl_exec($curl);
$response = curl_getinfo( $curl );
if( $response['http_code'] == '200' )
{
//Set banned words.
$banned_words = array("Prick","Dick","Fag");
//Separate each words found on the cURL fetched page.
$word = explode(" ", $result);
//var_dump($word);
for($i = 0; $i <= count($word); $i++){
foreach ($banned_words as $ban) {
if (stripos($word[$i],$ban) !== FALSE){
echo "word: $word[$i]<br />";
echo "Match: $ban<br>";
}else{
echo "word: $word[$i]<br />";
echo "No Match: $ban<br>";
}
}
}
}
// 4). Close cURL resource.
curl_close($curl);
Remember the banned words exist on the page. And No. It is not because the banned words are not text but imgs as I checked the source code of the page and the banned words do exist as text. Check it out yourself, if you have any doubts.
I hope it is not because this was set to false:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);
Setting it to "true", how-ever, shows a complete blank page. Why ? Must it not be set to "true" since the page is "httpS" anyway!
