I'm new to using cURL and its hard to find good resources for it. What I'm trying to do is login to a remote site, by having curl do the login form and then send back that it was successful. The code I have doesn't seem to work and only tries to show the main page of the site $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://m.algadon.com/login.php?act=login'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/32.0.1700.107 Chrome/32.0.1700.107 Safari/537.36'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "username=kontol&password=kontol"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '$ckfile'); //could be empty, but cause problems on some hosts curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '$ckfile'); //could be empty, but cause problems on some hosts $answer = curl_exec($ch); if (curl_error($ch)) { echo curl_error($ch); } //another request preserving the session curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://m.algadon.com/login.php?act=login'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, ""); $answer = curl_exec($ch); if (curl_error($ch)) { echo curl_error($ch); }
