[SOLVED] cURL to login to a site

[supermerc]

Hi, I am trying to use cURL to login to a game called outwar, but its not working for me.

 

this is the code I use:

 

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://quiver.outwar.com/myaccount.php');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'login_username=username&login_password=password');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$store = curl_exec ($ch);
$str = file_get_contents("http://quiver.outwar.com/myaccount.php");
echo $str;
curl_close ($ch);
?>

 

Please help me.

You are using CURL to post to the login form and then using file_get_contents() to retrieve your account page. Why?

 

If your session is stored in cookie.txt then only CURL can use it. You must use CURL to retrieve the pages you wish to access. Think of it as a web browser.

 

To get your page you will need to change your options

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, TRUE); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, FALSE); 

 

I would write a function for CURL so you can use in both POST and GET modes.

How would I do that? Also it isnt shown in my code but what I am trying to do is to check the content of a page and look for keywords, if the keyword is in the page then it goes to a page, if not, it keeps refreshing.

 

Like this

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://quiver.outwar.com/myaccount.php');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'login_username=username&login_password=password');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$store = curl_exec ($ch);

$str = file_get_contents("http://quiver.outwar.com/myaccount.php");
echo $str;
if(stristr($str,'wanhiroeaz')||stristr($str,'crane')||stristr($str,'mistress of the sword')||stristr($str,'Lord of Thugs')||stristr($str,'Rebel of Rallis')||stristr($str,'The collector'))
{
header("Location: http://www.sounddogs.com/previews/2221/mp3/411348_SOUNDDOGS_AL.mp3");exit();
}
else 
{
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5" />';
}
curl_close ($ch);

?>

What happens when you echo out $store ?

[supermerc]

The page is blank... :S

[supermerc]

scratch that it isnt...

 

Its shows me the page and something tells me

 

You have failed to log in too many times. Please wait 15 minutes and try again.

 

But the username and password are fine.

Sorry again, I made a mistake in password, this time it actually worked, it managed to login, now using curl how can I go to this page

http://quiver.outwar.com/world.php?suid=55726&serverid=6

and do this part of my code

<?php
if(stristr($str,'wanhiroeaz')||stristr($str,'crane')||stristr($str,'mistress of the sword')||stristr($str,'Lord of Thugs')||stristr($str,'Rebel of Rallis')||stristr($str,'The collector'))
{
header("Location: http://www.sounddogs.com/previews/2221/mp3/411348_SOUNDDOGS_AL.mp3");exit();
}
else 
{
echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5" />';
}
?>
