cURL

[Jenski]

I want to do this:

 

- retrieve a page

- grab a value from that page

- post that value in that page

 

basically i want to grab a page that has a field in a form that is randomly generated each time the page is loaded.

 

I want to be able to grab that value and use it in the posting.

 

However, at the moment I have to do it in 2 curl calls

- one to grab the value from scraping a page

- one to make the post

 

which means by the time i make the post the value that grabbed first time is regenerated.

 

Any ideas how I can get around this?

 

Hope that makes sense.

so you want to get a value using cURL then use it in the same transfer? that looks imposable to me

Yeah, is there another way i can use instead of curl? or use curl with something else to make this work?

[Jenski]

Would this do it?
