  • 0

I am building a php script to search and scrape google pages that uses curl, receiving the following error.

Undefined offset: 1 in /home/content/53/7382753/html/Summer/wootsummer.php on line 25

The offending line is bellow, in the curl settings.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$urls[$counter]);

Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated, as I am new to curl.
For reference, the script wootsummer.php is bellow:

<html>
<body>

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
set_time_limit (0);

$urls=explode("\n", $_POST['url']);

$target=$_POST['target'];

$allurls=count($urls);

//use the new tool box
require "ToolBoxA4.php";

for ( $counter = 0; $counter <= $allurls; $counter++) {

 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$urls[$counter]);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,'GET');
 curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); 
 curl_exec ($ch); 
 $curl_scraped_page=curl_exec($ch); 

//call the new function parseA1
$arrOut = parseA1 ($curl_scraped_page);

//the output is an array with 3 items:  $arrOut[0] is RHS, $arrOut[1] is TOP, $arrOut[2] is NAT
//to look at the RHS

$curl_scraped_page=strtolower($curl_scraped_page);
$haystack=$curl_scraped_page;
if (strlen(strstr($haystack,$target))>0) {

$FileName = abs(rand(0,100000));
$FileHandle = fopen($FileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($FileHandle, $curl_scraped_page);

$hostname="************";
$username="******";
$password="*******";
$dbname="********";
$usertable="*********";

$con=mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) or die ("<html><script language='JavaScript'>alert('Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.'),history.go(-1)</script></html>");
mysql_select_db($dbname ,$con);

$right = explode(",", $arrOut[0]);
$top = explode(",", $arrOut[1]);

for ( $countforme = 0; $countforme <= 5; $countforme++) {

$topnow=$top[$countforme];

$query = "INSERT INTO happyturtle (time, ad1) VALUES ('$FileName','$topnow')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed');

}

for ( $countforme = 0; $countforme <= 15; $countforme++) {

$rightnow = $right[$countforme];


$query = "INSERT INTO ****** (time, ad1) VALUES ('$FileName','$rightnow')";
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, insert query failed');

}

mysql_close($con);

echo '$FileNameSQL';


fclose($FileHandle);
}
curl_close($ch);

}

?>

    for ( $counter = 0; $counter <= $allurls; $counter++) {
    

    should be

    for ( $counter = 0; $counter < $allurls; $counter++) {
