I am trying to develop a phpbb forum auto poster. I am able to login but i can't post the content and submit into the phpbb forum. If anyone has any idea or done a phpbb posting.Please post your suggestions here. What are the post fields required while posting to phpbb new topic other than message,subject ,mode. If you know any info please post here. Below is the code which i tried to use. I am definetly making some mistake here. $post_fields1 = array( 'mode' => 'post', 'f' => $forum_id, 'message' => $message, 'subject' => $subject, 'disable_bbcode' => 0, 'disable_smilies' => 0, 'attach_sig' => 1, 'topic_type' => 0, 'topic_time_limit' => 0, 'creation_time' => 1241549667, 'lastclick' => 1241549667, 'form_token' => $form_taken, 'poll_title' => '', 'poll_max_options' => 1, 'poll_length' => 1, 'sid' => $sid2[0], 'post' => 'Submit' ); // $form_taken and sid i tried to get them from the site and tried to post them $ch1 = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_URL,$lurl); curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_POST, 4); curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields1); curl_setopt($ch1,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch1,CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE,"cookie6.txt"); $result1= curl_exec ($ch1); curl_close ($ch1);

vbulletin has lot of security related issues and i think i need to pass login details everytime. what is the otherway we can achieve it.

I am not an asshole. May be you. who knows. And you see my reply. I said do i need to post any more information. Code. $username = 'johny'; $password = 'lak8shmi'; $post_fields =array( 'vb_login_username' => $username, 'vb_login_password' => $password, 'do' => "login", 's' => '', ); $lurl = "http://www.indiancinemafans.com/board/upload/login.php"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$lurl); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 4); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,"cookie1.txt"); $result= curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); echo $result; $forumid = 11; preg_match('%name="securitytoken" value="(.*)"\ /\>%',$result,$security123); the above code shows the vb user was successfully logged in. After that it is redirecting to index.php but afer redirecting it is asking for username and password again.

Is this PHP freaks website or PHP novice website. People are not even responding to the query. If i have to post more information regarding the query. ask me to post more information.

have written a Curl function to crawl a website. I was able to login and storing the cookie in a file. I am trying to initiate a new curl and tried to use the same cookie to login. It is not logging in and again asks for username and password. I am actually trying to crawl the content.I can login but i am not able to crawl the contents. it is for a vb forum i tried. i can post the site name. but i am not sure whether i can post here or not. If you can post any help related to it.
