WebBookScraper : Extract online webnovels !
===========================================

[](#webbookscraper--extract-online-webnovels-)

This simple PHP project can be used to extract groups of page organized with a summary and individual pages per chapter , like web novels websites

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

The script will download the page located at the provided url and extract its content. It will then search for a list of links located in a specific container and download them too. In case the destination pages contain images, the script will list them and store them in memory for each chapter.

The default behaviour is to store the content in memory for further use, but there is an option to cache files as well. This is useful in case of a large table of content.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

The script is a simple PHP class that can be used in any PHP project. The main class is `WebBookScraper` and it requires a few parameters to work:

- The URL of the main page (string)
- The option to debug, this will create a log file (boolean)

The default behaviour of the parser is to located content in the following parts of the pagen, by default :

- The "title" of the page is read from the "article head" selector
- The "content" of the page is read from the "article div.entry-content" selector These can be modified at runtime by calling the `setSelectors[...]` static methods.

How to install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

The project is available on packagist and can be installed using composer:

```
composer require "arkhee/webbookscraper""
```

Example
-------

[](#example)
