Continuing sessions using Curl

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

in my code i can login to a forum and i try to post a private message to myself but i get the "Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form." error!

 

functions.php

 

<?php
function curl_login($url,$data,$proxy,$proxystatus){
    $fp = fopen("cookie.txt", "w");
    fclose($fp);
    $login = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt");
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, TRUE); 
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 40);
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    if ($proxystatus == 'on') {
        curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
        curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
        curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
    }
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
    ob_start();      // prevent any output
    return curl_exec ($login); // execute the curl command
    ob_end_clean();  // stop preventing output
    curl_close ($login);
    unset($login);    
}                  

function curl_grab_page($site,$proxy,$proxystatus){
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    if ($proxystatus == 'on') {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
    }
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $site);
    ob_start();      // prevent any output
    return curl_exec ($ch); // execute the curl command
    ob_end_clean();  // stop preventing output
    curl_close ($ch);
}  
?>

 

index.php

 

<?php
// INCLUDE THE FUNCTIONS FILE
include("inc/inc-functions.php");

// CREDENTIALS
$url = "http://www.site.org/login.php";
$data = "username=graham23s&password=milkybar&autologin=on&redirect=&login=Log+in";
$dataPM = "username=graham23s&subject=fhf&addbbcode18=%23&addbbcode20=12&helpbox=Italic+text%3A+%5Bi%5Dtext%5B%2Fi%5D++%28alt%2Bi%29&message=hf&via=&attach_sig=on&folder=inbox&mode=post&sid=$session&post=Submit";
$pmURL = "http://www.site.org/privmsg.php?mode=post&u=319462";

// EXECUTE LOGIN
$dataPrint1 = curl_login($url,$data,$proxy,$proxystatus);

//print $dataPrint; 

// SEND A PM
$dataPrint2 = curl_login($pmURL,$dataPM,$proxy,$proxystatus); 

print $dataPrint2; 
?>

 

if i add:

 

curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, TRUE);

 

i can see what the session id is, but im not sure how to pass it through!

 

any advice would be great

 

cheers

I cant help you with your code, but have you considered using the $_SESSION array?
