Product Description WiseLoop PHP Web Media Grabber is a set of PHP classes designed to extract and optionally download media resources form the web. This package allows complex media extraction in a flexible manner, just by using only a few lines of code. WiseLoop PHP Web Media Grabber suite consists of a complete built-in set of specialized grabbing engines, each component beeing implemented into a separate PHP class:

PHP Web Image Grabber: image extraction engine; PHP Web Video Grabber: video extraction engine; PHP Web Audio Grabber: audio grabbing extraction; PHP Flash / Flex Grabber: flash / flex applications extraction engine PHP JavaScript Grabber: javascript source files extraction engine PHP CSS Grabber: CSS stylesheet files extraction engine PHP Web Content-Type Grabber: extraction engine based on the content-type HTTP response header returned by the web resources PHP Web File Grabber: file / document extraction engine based on file name or file extension of the web resources.

Using its smart and powerfull grabbing engines, WiseLoop PHP Web Media Graber suite is able to extract and download almost any web resource file due to its exhaustive set of specialized component PHP classes. The extraction is made from any given web URL that contains or refers media files using web links (a href tags), various tag attributes (src, embed, param, movie etc.) or even inline css styling attributes (such as background images); also, the media grabing engine is able to identify more than the obvious media resources having the most common file extensions – it will find the media generated dynamically by the servers or media files that have no valid extesions or no extensions at all (such as images generated at runtime by the web servers); the identification is made by checking the server response header when pinging the tested media resource. The smart caching feature stores the usefull information about founded media (HTTP headers, width, height for images etc.) and so, it improves the grabbing speed, saves bandwidth and prevents useless pinging of the grabbed media. The choosen programming model allows the web grabbers library enlargement due to its simple, but yet smart HTML DOM parser and processor. Main Features
