Curl help with logging in.

Hi,

I've been semi-teaching myself curl, and I decided to try logging into Facebook with it.

This is what I have so far...

<?PHP
$Email = strip_tags(str_replace(' ', '', $_POST['email']));
$Password = strip_tags(str_replace(' ', '', $_POST['password']));

$FBlogin = 'https://www.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1';

$MoreData = "charset_test=%E2%82%AC%2C%C2%B4%2C%E2%82%AC%2C%C2%B4%2C%E6%B0%B4%2C%D0%94%2C%D0%84&lsd=u2nsf&locale=en_US&email=".urlencode($Email)."&pass=".urlencode($Password)."&default_persistent=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&lsd=u2nsf";
$Cookie = "cookie.txt";

$fp = fopen($Cookie,'wb');   

$agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7";
//login to facebook
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$FBlogin);   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $Cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $Cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $FBlogin);
curl_setopt($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, $MoreData);
       
$Excecute = curl_exec($ch);
echo $Excecute;
?>

 

Right now I have it echo'ing out to see what's going wrong. I'm getting cookie errors from facebook saying that "I must have cookies enabled".

What could be wrong in my script that would trip such an error?

Thanks.

Please check "cookiejar" for cURL http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/examples/cookiejar.html. It might help you.
