cURL Problem

[Rezert]

Okay, so I'm pretty good with PHP, including cURL, MySQL, GD Library, and REGEX.  I'm not the best though.  Now I remember when I was like 10 (2 years ago) I wanted to make a Neopets! portal I saw on some sites.  However, I only new HTML.  Now here's what it's supposed to display:

 

Snowager is Awake/Sleeping

The Current Band Is: (Current Band)

 

And a couple things like that.  Now my only problem is that I can't figure out how to login to Neopets w/ cURL because the login form is two pages long.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Rez

On the hi.html page there is a hidden field named username

 

If you are as good as you say you are you should be able to pick it up from there.

 

Also if your a FF user and you tend to use cURL a lot, might I suggest this plugin:

 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/966

[Rezert]

Ah yes, I used to have that but I forgot to install it.

 

Thanks a lot, I should be able to figure something out. =]

Okay, I just came across a second problem. I tried doing this:

curl_setopt($cl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookies");
curl_setopt($cl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$retlogin = curl_exec($cl);
curl_close($cl);

?>

 

and my second page has this:

 

<?php

include "config.inc.php";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.neopets.com/winter/snowager.phtml");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.neopets.com/login.phtml");
curl_setopt($ch, COOKIEFILE, "cookies");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$retsnow = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
unset($ch);

if(preg_match('/That <font color="#FF0000"><strong>username\/password<\/strong><\/font> combination is invalid./', $retlogin)) {
die("This script was configured incorrectly.  Please enter a valid username and password in the config.inc.php");
}

if(preg_match('/The Snowager is awake!!! You better run before it eats you!!!/', $retsnow)) {
$snow = "The snowager is awake.";
} else {
$snow = "The snowager is asleep.";
}

echo $snow;

unlink("cookies");

?>

 

Now the problem is it's saying "The snowager is asleep." when it's really awake. So I echo()ed $retsnow and it shows the login form. I'm like WTF!?!?! because I logged in with config.inc.php

 

Any help would be muchly appreciated,

Rezert

 

And before you say it's cuz $pass = "password"; I just changed that...

[DarkerAngel]

2 things.

 

1. I always have my post fields in an array, not a query string, when using cURL

 

$postfields = array(

      'username' => 'username',

      'password' => 'password',

      'destination' => '%2Findex.phtml');

 

2. The login page is expecting the 'destination' variable it may not be returning the proper cookies if that's not set

     

[Rezert]

I have never used arrays in it though. o.0

 

I just display $retlogin and it looks like it's logging in fine...I'm very confused now.

 

Oh yeah, I added the destination part also.

[Rezert]

I took out the unlink("cookies") and went to that file...it looks like this:

 

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File

# http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html

# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

[Rezert]

I think I know what's wrong. I am including that login script on every page and I should only do it once...let me try this...

 

Erm...no, that was not it...sorry for the triple post.  I didn't realize lol...I'll edit from now on.

 

[Rezert]

It wouldn't let me edit...

 

Anyways, I'll just create a function that logs in every time and just uses the page I need as the destination.
