Laravel Sentry 2 with multiple user types, finally.

Sentry is an amazing auth system. But I really need a feature: multiple user types in the same app. And I cannot separate those in groups, because they have different table columns. After 2 days burning my head, I think I found a good solution. The magic is duplicate SentryServiceProvider with new different settings.

This was tested on Laravel 4.0 and Sentry 2. If you're using other version of Sentry, my suggestion is to follow same steps from this gist but use your local files instead copying files from here.

Lets suppose we have a fresh Sentry install with default User ambient. Now we want another ambient called Admin, with new model and different settings. How to do:

1. One model, one ambient

Browsing to `http://<your_app_domain>/` should now redirect (HTTP 302) you to `http://<your_app_domain>/users/login`.

return 'I\'m in!';

web scraping in php

Have you ever wanted to get a specific data from another website but there's no API available for it? That's where Web Scraping comes in, if the data is not made available by the website we can just scrape it from the website itself.

But before we dive in let us first define what web scraping is. According to Wikipedia:

{% blockquote %} Web scraping (web harvesting or web data extraction) is a computer software technique of extracting information from websites. Usually, such software programs simulate human exploration of the World Wide Web by either implementing low-level Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or embedding a fully-fledged web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. {% endblockquote %}

####Quickstart Method 1

Step 1:

Create your extension using the Workshop

Step 2:

Open your main composer.json and add the following lines into the "classmap" array of your "autoload"
