How can I retrieve all CSS from a webpage URL using PHP?
I have a webpage URL or HTML file, and I want to extract all the external CSS from that webpage. Is it possible with PHP?
Yes, it is possible to extract external CSS from a webpage using PHP. You can achieve this by parsing the HTML content of the webpage and extracting the <link> tags that reference external CSS files. Then you can retrieve the content of those CSS files and store or manipulate them as needed. Here's a basic example of how you can do this:
<?php
$url = 'https://blog.buggerspot.com/';
$parsed_url = parse_url($url);
if(isset($parsed_url['scheme']) && isset($parsed_url['host'])) {
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$html = file_get_contents($url);
@$dom->loadHTML($html);
$links = $dom->getElementsByTagName('link');
$domainUrl = $parsed_url['scheme'] . '://' . $parsed_url['host'];
$cssLinks = array();
foreach ($links as $link) {
if ($link->getAttribute('rel') == 'stylesheet') {
$externalCss = $link->getAttribute('href');
$css_parsed_url = parse_url($externalCss);
if (!isset($css_parsed_url['host'])) {
$externalCss = "$domainUrl/$externalCss"; //add abs
}
$cssLinks[] = $externalCss;
}
}
$css = "";
foreach ($cssLinks as $cssLink) {
$css .= file_get_contents($cssLink);
}
echo $css;
}
else {
echo "Please enter a valid website URL, such as: https://blog.buggerspot.com/";
}This code retrieves the HTML content of the webpage, parses it using DOMDocument, and then iterates through all <link> tags with the rel="stylesheet" attribute. It checks if the href attribute of each <link> tag (indicating an external CSS file), retrieves the content of those CSS files, and stores them in an array. Finally, it outputs the content of each external CSS file.
