I updated my script but I still couldn't get the script to work. What I mean by this is that - when I use a browser to open the page and submit a fax, I would receive a confirmation email with a "confirmation link" in it. This is what I expect would happen if the script runs successfully. However, so far I have received no confirmation emails after using the script to submit my fax. Hence, I am still debugging the script to try to get it to work. Would someone please point me in the right direction please? Many thanks!

Hi all, I am new here and I really thank God that I found this forum! I have read the materials here on working with cURL on javascript-form-submission pages. However, I can't to get my script to work. Can anybody here please help me out or drop me a hint on where to correct my script? ==Situation== My company utilizes http://www.myfax.com/free/ to send our company faxes. My task is to write a code that would submit files for faxes electronically. Note: The site also requires e-mail confirmation but I haven't get to that stage yet. I have run tests on submitting fax requests both by code and manually through the site, and have confirmed that the code doesn't work on the submission level because I managed to receive confirmation e-mails for manual submissions. Also, I tried my script with different staff email addresses because I figured out that it blocks only the same e-mail address from sending more than 2 faxes a day. <?php //target page url $strPage_url = 'www.myfax.com/free/'; //create array of data to be posted $arrPost_data = array ( 'ctl00$MainSection$tbRecipientName' => 'I am recipient', //max length = 50 'ctl00$MainSection$tbRecipientCompany' => 'I am recipient company', //max length = 50 'ctl00$MainSection$tbRecipientFaxNumber' => '+1 (206) 202-8273', //recipient fax 'ctl00$MainSection$ddlRecipientCountry' => html_entity_decode ('{"c":{"i":"2","n":"United States","t":"1","s":"US"},"m":{"i":"1","v":"+1 (###) ###-####","d":"","f":"","c":"","r":""}}'), 'ctl00$MainSection$tbSenderName' => 'I am sender', //max length = 50 'ctl00$MainSection$tbSenderCompany' => 'I am sender company', //max length = 50 'ctl00$MainSection$tbSenderEmailAddress' => 'abc@example.com', //email 'ctl00$MainSection$nbAntiSpam$nbAntiSpam_NoBotExtender_ClientState' => '-150', //number drawn from inspecting the packages sent by manual form submission 'ctl00$MainSection$fileUpload' => '@/files/file.pdf', //file 'ctl00$MainSection$tbMessage' => 'hello world', //message '__EVENTTARGET' => '', '__EVENTARGUMENT' => '', '__VIEWSTATEENCRYPTED' => '' ); //visit the page and get cookies $curl_connection = curl_init ($strPage_url); curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0); curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"); curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.myfax.com/free/"); curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt ($curl_connection, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'CURLCOOKIE'); $strGet_page_contents = curl_exec ($curl_connection); curl_close ($curl_connection); //get page to retrieve view state and event validation if ( preg_match ( '/"__VIEWSTATE"[\s]+?value="([\s\S]+?)"/' , $strGet_page_contents , $arrView_state ) ) { $strView_state = $arrView_state[1]; $arrPost_data['__VIEWSTATE'] = $strView_state; } if ( preg_match ( '/"__EVENTVALIDATION"[\s]+?value="([\s\S]+?)"/' , $strGet_page_contents , $arrEvent_validation ) ) { $strEvent_validation = $arrEvent_validation[1]; $arrPost_data['__EVENTVALIDATION'] = $strEvent_validation; } if ( preg_match ( '/id="ctl00_MainSection_nbAntiSpam_nbAntiSpam_NoBotExtender_ClientState" value="([\s\S]+?)"/' , $strGet_page_contents , $arrAnti_spam ) ) { $strAnti_spam = $arrAnti_spam[1]; $arrPost_data['ctl00$MainSection$nbAntiSpam$nbAntiSpam_NoBotExtender_ClientState'] = $strAnti_spam; } //traverse array and prepare data for posting (key1=value1) foreach ( $arrPost_data as $key => $value) { $arrPost_items[] = $key .
