I'm trying to download the Webgains discount codes feed programatically. It's generated in an odd way so it's hard to download using a script.

http://www.webgains.com/newsletter/i...countCodes.csv

I've tried Curl, fread, fgetcsv and copy to my server.

Can anyone think of another solution?

Thanks

Example:

<?php

// Extract info from WebGains feed

$webgainsVouchers = "http://www.webgains.com/newsletter/images/DiscountCodes.csv";

unset($p);

$ch = curl_init($webgainsVouchers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $connection_timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);

$p = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

print($p);

?>

Hi,

You need to authenticate your request with your username and password.

eg

<?php

$webgainsVouchers = "https://www.webgains.com/newsletter/images/DiscountCodes.csv";

$user = 'youruser';
$password = 'yourpass';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $webgainsVouchers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $user . ":" . $password);

$file = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

print_r($file);

?>

Hope that helps

Tim

$url = 'http://www.webgains.com/newsletter/images/DiscountCodes.csv';
$filename = 'codes.csv';
$newfname = $filename;

$file = fopen ($url, "rb");
if ($file) {
  $newf = fopen ($newfname, "wb");

  if ($newf)
  while(!feof($file)) {
    fwrite($newf, fread($file, 1024 ), 1024 );
  }
}

if ($file) {
  fclose($file);
}

if ($newf) {
  fclose($newf);
} 

That's what I use and it works fine.

If you need to use cURL then change the request to https and add these to your options:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
