cURL - doesn't want to play ball

[Yesideez]

Here's my script:

<?php
$ch=curl_init('http://www.pictureinthesky.net/bltest/method1.php');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE,'cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER,false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'crime=1&vercode=ABC');
$page=curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
  echo 'ERROR';
}
curl_close($ch);
echo $page;
?>

 

I'm trying to get that to call the URL in the script to check the anti XSS code in my other script is working but all it does is read the page in without submitting the form -I should get an error message!

 

I've checked and the cookie.txt file is being created and contains:

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/cookie_spec.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

www.pictureinthesky.net	FALSE	/	FALSE	0	PHPSESSID	7268ef0b4b6adae605156ac177bdd43e

 

EDIT: The above script can be tried: http://www.pictureinthesky.net/curl/readpage.php

 

I think it might be failing because cURL hasn't been told the name of the submit button and in my code I'm checking for it by name.

UPDATE:

 

Tried adding the name of the submit button on the end and it still fails. Doesn't pick up anything.

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'crime=1&vercode=ABC&subcrime');

UPDATE:

 

I've set a referer and that is being picked up. Used Firebug to check XMLHttpRequests and not a single POST is being sent - no idea why!

[Yesideez]

Anyone know what can cause cURL not to send the POST data?

[Yesideez]

Anyone?

Hi Yesideez,

 

After playing around, you need to add "subcrime=Commit" to the end of your POST fields,
