Save cookies with curl

Recommended Posts

I have the following script and I've been trying to make it work for hours

$tmpfname = "temp\cookie.txt";

$curl_handle=curl_init();
$user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/5.0)";

curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,'url goes here');
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,FALSE);
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);

curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $tmphandle); 
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $tmphandle); 

curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);

}

 

There are 2 problems.

1. the most important is that the cookies don't save. However in the header that i get there's plenty of Set-Cookie:

2. I've set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to false, however I still see the webpage when I run cURL. I even deleted the portion where I echoed the buffer (I used to have CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER set to true).

I used to have this portion of the code

if (empty($buffer))
{
    print "Sorry, unable to retrive site.<p>";
}
else
{
    print $buffer;
}

but all the buffer printed out was "1" (without the quotes)

 

Any ideas?

Make sure the temp folder exists.

 

Also, this should be enough to get cookies working:

$tmpfname = "temp\cookie.txt";

$curl_handle=curl_init();
$user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/5.0)";

curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,'url goes here');
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $tmpfname); 
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $tmpfname); 

$output = curl_exec($curl_handle);
$info = curl_close($curl_handle);

echo "<!--// Look in page-source (html) to view this properly: \n", print_r($info), "\n //-->\n", $output;

 

As AbraCadaver stated, you should fix your consistency errors (variables names should stay the same for ex):

curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $tmphandle); 
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $tmphandle); 

 

Should be:

curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $tmpfname); 
curl_setopt ($curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $tmpfname);

 

And use integer boolean values (0,1) instead of string boolean (true,false) when defining cURL Options.

 

For example:

curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

 

hope this helps

That didn't do the trick actually. :(

Also the part where

echo "<!--// Look in page-source (html) to view this properly: \n", print_r($info), "\n //-->\n", $output;

in page source $info shows up as 1 and it is before the rest of the page however if i set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to 0 then i end up with the following on the bottom of page source

<!--// Look in page-source (html) to view this properly: 
1
//--> 
1

I tried using

$cookie_file_path = "cookie.txt"; 
    
        
    $fp = fopen($cookie_file_path,'wb');    
    fclose($fp);
    
    $agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7";
    $reffer = "http://www.facebook.com/login.php";
        
        
         $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://login.facebook.com/login.php");    
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_fie_path);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.facebook.com/login.php");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "charset_test=%E2%82%AC%2C%C2%B4%2C%E2%82%AC%2C%C2%B4%2C%E6%B0%B4%2C%D0%94%2C%D0%84&version=1.0&return_session=0&charset_test=%E2%82%AC%2C%C2%B4%2C%E2%82%AC%2C%C2%B4%2C%E6%B0%B4%2C%D0%94%2C%D0%84&email=user%40gmail.com&pass=0000000");
        
          $html = curl_exec($ch);
          echo $html;

but the cookie file is empty and facebook tells me that i don't have cookies enabled. wtf?
