cURL error

[Genesis730]

So here is my code... I got it off of here...

Because I'm completely new to cURL, just wanna get a page that requires a login... I wrote everything word for word and got my own values for the two functions and get this error...

 

"Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/a5623324/public_html/cURL/curlML.php on line 24"

 

here's all my code except for the login scripts (obvious reasons)

<?
//LOGIN INFORMATION WAS DELETED FROM HERE

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_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);
}

?>

 

LINE 24: "  curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);  "

Anybody???

Comment out the FOLLOWLOCATION line and see what happens. To lessen the chance of an error make sure you dont leave any open url's

domain.com

vs.

domain.com/

as FOLLOWLOCATION is needed if you omit the trailing slash. It is probably not a safe_mode problem. If the script is not able to get anywhere after logging in then it is probably due to a redirect that without FOLLOWLOCATION cant be followed.

 

The only place to set it is httpd.conf or php.ini.

If you can use your own php.ini you can set it there otherwise contact your hosting provider and ask them to put your root into the open_basedir_path if you dont have a control panel that allows you to set apache directives.

I have checked my PHP info and found that safe mode is infact off, however the basedir is set to /home/:/usr/lib/php:/tmp  <---- that's my problem

 

So is there any way within the code to change that or is there any workaround?
