Hi, This is the code I made to show the problem: $useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)"; $timeout = 10 ; $cookie = tempnam ("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE"); $post = array('_method'=>"put", 'authenticity_token'=>' zcvcxfsdfvxcv', 'profile_image[a]'=>"@Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg" ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:')); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/test.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "" ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false ); # required for https urls curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout ); curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post); $html = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); Now this link used above: http://localhost/test.php has this code: print_r($_POST); print_r($_FILES); It simply prints whats in post and files. So the above code displays this on screen: Array ( [_method] => put [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv ) Array ( [profile_image] => Array ( [name] => Array ( [a] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg ) [type] => Array ( [a] => image/jpeg ) [tmp_name] => Array ( [a] => /tmp/phppLJPQV ) [error] => Array ( [a] => 0 ) [size] => Array ( [a] => 55377 ) ) ) but we need to modify the code so that it should display this: Array ( [_method] => put [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv ) Array ( [profile_image[a]] => Array ( [name] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phppLJPQV [error] => 0 [size] => 55377 ) ) Meaning, it is taking this(profile_image[a]) as an array when we are defining $post because that's how curl recognizes that we want to upload only a file or an array of files on server by http post. So, basically the problem is the name of the input field that is defined as an array (profile_image[a]) on the web page that we are trying to mock. If this(profile_image[a]) was this (profile_image_a)(without []) on that webpage, then it would not have been a problem. So, if you understand, this is basically a syntax problem. I do not know how stop curl from reading 'profile_image[a]' as an array here 'profile_image[a]'=>"@Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg. I need curl to read 'profile_image[a]' as an string and not array. I have to use [], otherwise I will not be able to mock the webpage as the name will change. It will give error. I hope I explained the problem and also gave you a way to test if you have a solution. Again, if your code starts displaying this: Array ( [_method] => put [authenticity_token] => zcvcxfsdfvxcv ) Array ( [profile_image[a]] => Array ( [name] => Girl-Next-Door-movie-f01.jpg [type] => image/jpeg [tmp_name] => /tmp/phppLJPQV [error] => 0 [size] => 55377 ) ) ,then we have a solution. Thanks for helping in advance. Regards, Manoj

thanks a ton roopurt18 and HTH. I tried that line and now I am not getting that error and it is taking me to the redirect page. But it is still showing me the page that comes without login which means that I am not logged in. Can you please help? This is the response of the server when used HTH's code to see header: Array ( => https://www.tutorsteach.com/inquiry.aspx [content_type] => text/html; charset=utf-8 [http_code] => 200 [header_size] => 281 [request_size] => 122 [filetime] => -1 [ssl_verify_result] => 0 [redirect_count] => 0 [total_time] => 0.348745 [namelookup_time] => 3.0E-5 [connect_time] => 3.1E-5 [pretransfer_time] => 3.3E-5 [size_upload] => 0 [size_download] => 77633 [speed_download] => 222606 [speed_upload] => 0 [download_content_length] => 77633 [upload_content_length] => 0 [starttransfer_time] => 0.276132 [redirect_time] => 0 ) here I can see that http_code is 200 which means that it is right. Then when am I wrong. Please help.

Hi, I am trying to automated a boring, regular job that I have to do daily. I am trying to automated this job 100% at server end in php by using CURL: 1. Login to a site https://www.tutorsteach.com/login.aspx automatically. 2. then go to this page: https://www.tutorsteach.com/inquiry.aspx. 3. Get the html source code of this page in variable and then scan it for new email ids. 4. Then send them a mail. This is my code: <?php // INIT CURL $ch = curl_init(); // SET URL FOR THE POST FORM LOGIN curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.tutorsteach.com/Default.aspx'); // ENABLE HTTP POST curl_setopt
