PHP - Moved: Get And Post Request In Php With Rollingcurl Library

I need to make my client's site distinguish among different tabs in the same browser. (See http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=357772.0 for background.)

I create a tab ID when the user first visits the site in a particular tab, and I'm passing it from page to page as a parameter. This seems to be the only way to do what I need.

The tab ID is always passed through POST so that the user won't see it. If it were visible, users could make trouble (or more likely get in trouble) by adding or removing the ID themselves.

This is not simple where a page is loaded by a hyperlink. The anchor tag passes parameters via GET, period.

The solution I found is to link to a script named post.php, which takes the real link target and the tab ID as parameters, sends the browser a form that passes the tab ID to the real link target via POST, and auto-submits the form via JavaScript.

This works, but it requires two round trips to the browser to load a page. It's also a pain to code.

Is there a more efficient way to do this... perhaps a way to make the server send the browser a POST response, even though it made a GET request?

If it matters, the server is Apache 2.x.

Hi everyone,

I am making a screen scraper in php which scrapes the usernames from forum posts and stores them in an SQL database.  I need some help with part of the preg_match code if possible please? 

The code and also the pseudo code I have so far is:(the pseudocode I am having trouble with but will try to solve my self if possible).
Edit: sorry, editted the page as was confusing to read.  Please ask for clarificaiton if there is anything I have failed to explain properly. thank you.

//I will be placing the following php in the confirmation page people see after making a new post, so for this example lets say the referrer header says: http://www.mysite.com/showthread.php?tid=1'

Code: [Select]
$threadurl=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
// scrape the page
Code: [Select]
$content = file_get_contents($threadurl);

// find the pattern in source which makes it easy to find the username- the only things that change are the uid and the color
Code: [Select]
if (preg_match("/\b uid=792"><span style="color:#ffcc00">fapafap</span></a>\b /i", $content)) {
//extract username from this string search
Don't know!

//copy the username (in this case 'fapafap') to the database along with the referral ID

Code: [Select]
$query_insert="INSERT INTO newpostersdatabase(username,referrerurl) VALUES('$username','$threadurl')" ;
$result=mysql_query ( $query_insert);
if(!$result){
die(mysql_error());
}

Thank you so much for any guidance, I know that I have totally messed up with the string search also but my brain is too small it seems!

Doing something wrong, but don't see it.  How should one retrieve a POST parameter?  My $request->toArray()['html'] works, but I am sure it is not the "right way".

<?php
namespace App\DataPersister;
use ApiPlatform\Core\DataPersister\DataPersisterInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;

class ArchivePersister implements DataPersisterInterface
{
    public function __construct(RequestStack $requestStack)
    {
        $request = $requestStack->getCurrentRequest();
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->getMethod(): '.$request->getMethod());
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->getContent(): '.$request->getContent());
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->request->get(html): '.$request->request->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->query->get(html): '.$request->query->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->get(html): '.$request->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->toArray(): '.json_encode($request->toArray()));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->toArray()[html]: '.$request->toArray()['html']);
    }
}

output

$request->getMethod(): POST
$request->getContent(): {"project":"/projects/1","description":"","html":"<p>{{ project_name }}</p>"}
$request->request->get(html):
$request->query->get(html):
$request->get(html):
$request->toArray(): {"project":"\/projects\/1","description":"","html":"<p>{{ project_name }}<\/p>"}
$request->toArray()[html]: <p>{{ project_name }}</p>
