6 lines of cURL for simple Add to cart button = NOT WORK (please help me mates)

[Luke_Massoud]

Hi there ,

All day I have been stumped with this problem.

Ive tried cURL and other stuff but nothing works.

I just get a blank page. Anyway I am desperate now.

My eyes are bloodshot , I just want to go to bed.

I would be very greatfull for your help .

Please see this page:

http://swathe.cart.net.au/details/2153603.html

I want to simulate the clicking of that "Add to Basket" button.

Could you please help me make a simple script (doesn't have to be using cURL) to do this ?

I know its easy.

 

Here is my(broken) script:

 

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://swathe.cart.net.au/action_handler.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"product_inputs[details]=fat&current_loc=/details/2153603.html&_action=add&prd_id=2232162");
echo curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch); 
?>

 

 

Thank you for your help

anything ?

I would recommend using a php script to do this, partially because I dont know cURL, and partially because there are plenty of great, free php "add to basket" scripts.

 

heres one I found: http://v3.thewatchmakerproject.com/journal/276/building-a-simple-php-shopping-cart

well thank you for your post!

but actually I am not trying to create a shopping cart.

Just trying to send a HTTP POST to a php a that page so it behaves as if I had clicked on the add to cart button on that page I mentioned in my post.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"product_inputs[details]=fat&current_loc=/details/2153603.html&_action=add&prd_id=2232162");

 

i think it has to do with your slashes.."/"

it can also come from the action "_" that is not received on the target php page...

 

What misses here, is mainly your php receipt page... to know how you process data you have curled...
