well this is what i did: $check= mysql_query("select * from voting where ipaddress='$ipaddress'"); $ipname = mysql_fetch_assoc($check); if($ipname['ipaddress'] == $ipaddress) { echo 'IP address already exists in database'; # you can add here anything what you want } else { mysql_query ("INSERT INTO voting (theid,ipaddress,gamert,serveron2) VALUES ('$theid','$ipaddress','$gamert','$serveron')"); }

are there webpages or topics where people give a little task, what to do in php and you go and try to do it? or maybe this can be this topic ? why i need this: 1) lack of imagination 2) i wanna learn the language, but im pretty sure starting from API letter 'A' is not the answer i'm sure there are others like me out there, that wanna learn programming, but just doing those hello world proggies isn't the best they can do. cheers.

well actuallly i'm not trying to solve captcha..i will explain 1)there will be new products in the shop every 30 days and everyone will be racing to get them 2)so i read the source, find the best item and click on it 3) then the captcha pops out and i can finish the captcha by myself, i just need it to pop the captcha up within few seconds. so far i have the best item and it's link, i just need a way to pop it up

sorry for double post, but do not see edit button here or maybe some other language is can do, what i need ? ajax or something?

but can i somehow keep the session, so i can click links in browser?

well basically its a site, where every 30 minutes new items come that i can buy, and everyone fight for the best ones 1) so i download source code and search for the best item according to rarity ( yes i can get it from source code ) 2) i click on buy ( thats the javascript thing ) and that opens a simple flash human control window, here i must click on blue ring, then the item is bought so im this far: i read source code and get the best item, also i have the link for buying the best item : <a href="javascript:human_test(717161520400, 714999581)">Buy</a> what i discovered that, if i dont press on blue ring, then i will be thrown to this page. and it says i failed the test http://pokerrpg.com/furniture_store.php?page=buy&id=717161520400&id2=673611685&t=1293559676&id=717161520400&id2=0&getRandom=[type+Function]

okay now i have few problems, first of all. 1) after i curl.exec(), i get my webpage, i see it on browser but if i try to click on any links or buttons on my browser, it just logs me out 2) how can i execute javascript with php or curl? well im on my page with curl and i want to click on a link, but this link goes here: <a href="javascript:human_test(717080039825, 972972262)"> can i execute it somehow?

Is it within their terms of website use to create login bots? Using the code above you'll get flagged quickly as a bot because you're not sending a user agent string. cURL does not send a user agent by default and some web servers will simply reject the request as it's clearly not a human. thank you, did not even think about that will this help me out? $useragent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/8.0.552.224 Safari/534.10'; $ref = 'http://pokerrpg.com'; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent); #furthermore, should i also define referrer? curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $ref);

woohoo, wow thank you, ive been messing with this for 2 days now!!

well basically im trying to do that the 'subject says. ive done my homework and had around 10 examples of using curl, but none of them worked in my case. this is the final code i'm using <?php $cookiefile = '/temp/cookies.txt'; #2 ways ive tried doing #$data = array('edit[username]' => 'REMOVED', 'edit[password]' => 'REMOVED', 'edit[submit]' => 'Login'); $data = array('username] => 'REMOVED', 'password' => 'REMOVED', 'submit' => 'Login'); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://pokerrpg.com'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookiefile); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookiefile); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); curl_exec($ch); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://pokerrpg.com/furniture_store.php'); $contents = curl_exec($ch); $headers = curl_getinfo($ch); echo $contents; curl_close($ch); unlink($cookiefile); ?> im not sure about the cookie file, but i just made a txt file to that location. and empty txt file. hope it's fine. the page i'm trying is http://pokerrpg.com, you can even look the source code that both of these fields do exist. when i run it, the output is a login page without logging in, so it does not log in.
