A friend of mines got a problem with his webpage and it seems to be
intermittently going weird but the cause of it seems random. To try and fix
it i've written a quick script to basicaly go through the pages continualy
until it finds an error page, writes a load of information to a file and
then carries on so i can have some kinda data to try and work out the cause.
So far i havent been getting anything but i've yet to be able to get the
page to screw up myself and it seems like it's a very random thing, but it'd
be nice to get rid of it. A lot of the pages on the site though are
restricted by a login and i'd like to include these in the spidering to
ensure it's looking at all possible problems. So... does anyone know of a
way to either fake cookies or sessions in php to a remote machine or to
login and for php to keep the sessions. I dont know if i'm making much
sense so i'll give a quick example below.
for ($counter... {
$page = file_get_contents($base_url.$counter);
if (page_is_weird($page)) {
do something....
}
}
This is run from the cli btw. Thanks for any help,
Peter
