[Hash Key?]

need to extract the hash value from this string

 

id="Qform__FormState" value="c49c31100c139a92a85a1dc37fb399c5"

 

proposed expression:

$expression = '#^([a-z0-9]{32})$#i';

 

does not work

 

tried this one as well

$expression = '#id=\"Qform__FormState\" value=\"^([a-z0-9]{32})$\"#i';

no luck either

still unable to get it working.

[Using Curl To Login]

okay so I updated the script

 

<?php

$url = 'https://secure.chess.com/login';
$postfields = "c1=USERNAME&loginpassword=PASSWORD&rememberme=checked";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $password);   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

echo $response;

?>

 

it brings me to the login page of the chess.com website, not logged into the account, I'm assuming it is not working?

[Using Curl To Login]

I need to login into this webpage in order to get the contents of a certain page that only members have access too.

 

I decided to use cURL to do this instead of creating a stream for file_get_contents()

 

I am pretty new to cURL, but here is my attempt at this situation.

 

<?php

$url = 'http://secure.chess.com/login';

$postfields = "c1=USERNAME&loginpassword=PASSWORD";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $password);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

echo $response;
?>

 

as you may see, the webpage is chess.com/login (login url)

I am pretty sure the form credentials are

Username (which is name="c1")

Password (which is name="loginpassword")

 

the problem is that it replies back with

 

"301 Moved Permanently error"

[Regex With Numbers...]

thankyou, fixed with

"#id=[0-9]*\"#i"

[Regex With Numbers...]

trying to obtain:

href="/echess/game?id=61279056"

 

I do not know the length of the digits, but it is closed with a quotation. I do not know the starting digit.

I do know, it will only be a number of unknown length

 

expression attempted with:

$expression = "#href=\"/echess/game?id=[0-9]*\"#i";

 

results:
