Curl Phpbb Login help?

[john_bboy7]

Ok i am looking for a php Script Which logs into phpbb forum and then view any topic.. I just want to view the topic (No posting required  )

 

What i did was .. i am able to login in with this piece of code:

 

<?php

function cURL($url,$header,$cookie,$p) {
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $header);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, $header);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $cookie);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
   if($p){
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $p);
   };
   $result = curl_exec($ch);
   curl_close($ch);
   if($result){
      return $result;
   }else{
      return curl_error($ch);
   };
};

$u = "??????";
$p = "??????";

$chek4 = cURL("http://www.????????.com/login.php", 0, 0,"username=$u&password=$p&autologin=on&redirect=viewtopic.php&t=2163362&login=Log%20in");

$PT = "/Set-Cookie:(.*):; Path=\/; HttpOnly/i";
        preg_match($PT, $cookie, $cookiu);
        $cookie = $cookiu[1] . ":";

$chek5 = cURL("http://www.???????.com/viewtopic.php?t=2163362",1,$cookie,null);

echo $chek5;

?>

 

But the problem is that i cant view the topic? because i think my cookies are not being stored or something..

Anyone here willing to help? i Can provide 1 month Premium Rapidshare Account worth 5 pounds. I dont know if this is allowed  ???

 

Thanks in Advance..

Cookies are often set to work with one domain/subdomain.

 

You should see how cookies are being set.

Thanks For Replying But Where do i see that? i mean i tried every way to store cookies but still no luck.

How are you getting a value for $cookie in the first place?  Maybe you are missing this?

how about storing cookies on your server? then delete them once they pass a certain time.

Please can you correct it? if there is something wrong?

Yeah but how to do that? Is there any topic here so i can get help on that?

On firefox, (if you dont have it, go get it ) when you log into PHPBB, go into tools, options, privacy, then view cookies. Then have click ont he PHPBB cookie(s) and where it says domain: , see what it says

That might help. Then you can set the cookies to the same domain.
