trying to log a user in to 3rdparty script..

[drillbitt]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm trying to POST data to a login.php script, and am totally stuck!

 

I have a members area which when logged in, I want my members to be able to be able to access another script within it.

Unfortunately the 3rd party script is ioncube encoded, but uses a login.html template to submit the log on details.

Ive managed to ##HASH## together a way that the users details match the details of my membership script, so I entered $Username & $password as the default values of the login.html, with the hope that by just creating a link to 3rdpartyscript/login.php it would replace the details and log the user in.

 

This worked (in a fashion) but it seems to me It would be easier to use the cURL function... Which is where I become totally lost!

 

I created logincurl.php as below:

 

<?php
//create array of data to be posted
$post_data['email'] = '<?php echo $username; ?>';
$post_data['password'] = '<?php echo $password; ?>';
//create the final string to be posted using implode()
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
//create cURL connection
$curl_connection = curl_init('http://wizardresponder.com/v2/members/login.php');
//set options
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
//set data to be posted
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
//perform our request
$result = curl_exec($curl_connection);
//show information regarding the request
print_r(curl_getinfo($curl_connection));
echo curl_errno($curl_connection) . '-' . curl_error($curl_connection);
//close the connection
curl_close($curl_connection);

 

which I (presume) I then point the link in the members area to, and was sorta assuming that would log them on... but all I get is

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/randp/public_html/v2/logincurl.php on line 6

So that didn't work at all... Am I totally missing the point here??

 

I thought I'd then have a go at using cURL to create the account in the 3rdparty script, so I tried this:

<?php
//create array of data to be posted
$post_data['package'] = 'Standard';
$post_data['packkey'] = '4fbb470fe39d70d3705e8447bd2223';
$post_data['email'] = '<?php echo $username; ?>';
$post_data['password'] = '<?php echo $password; ?>';
$post_data['fname'] = 'fname';
$post_data['lname'] = 'lname';
$post_data['address'] = 'address';
$post_data['city'] = 'city';
$post_data['state'] = 'state';
$post_data['zip'] = 'zip';
$post_data['country'] = 'country';
$post_data['website'] = 'website';
$post_data['weburl'] = 'weburl';
$post_data['action'] = 'Create Account';
//create the final string to be posted using implode()
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
//create cURL connection
$curl_connection = curl_init('http://wizardresponder.com/v2/newuser/index.php');
//set options
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
//set data to be posted
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
//perform our request
$result = curl_exec($curl_connection);
//show information regarding the request
print_r(curl_getinfo($curl_connection));
echo curl_errno($curl_connection) . '-' . curl_error($curl_connection);
//close the connection
curl_close($curl_connection);
?>

but just got back:

All im tring to do is create a link from the members area that when clicked, automatically logs the user into the other script without them having to re-enter their details...And its driving me crazy!!

 

If anyone could point me in the right direction, that't be so cool!

[samshel]

$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);

 

should be

 

$post_string = implode ('&', $post_data);

 

[drillbitt]

$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);

 

should be

 

$post_string = implode ('&', $post_data);

 

Cool...! So that gets rid of the error message... But now Im lost as to what I do next! I'm assuming logincurl.php has posted the data to the other script... I just don't understand how I get the user to go there now? Do I need to set up a redirect or something?

 

Cheers

if this post sets the session, u may try to redirect using header(), but i m not sure..

[drillbitt]
