cURL using POST not working

[savagenoob]

Ive tried everything and cannot get this POST to work, page comes up blank. The output of curlgetinfo() shows:

Array ( [url] => http://app.alliedinsurance.com/find_agent/calcpage4_1_popup.cfm?RequestTimeout=180 [content_type] => text/html; charset=UTF-8 [http_code] => 200 [header_size] => 329 [request_size] => 450 [filetime] => -1 [ssl_verify_result] => 0 [redirect_count] => 0 [total_time] => 0.172622 [namelookup_time] => 0.02064 [connect_time] => 0.092116 [pretransfer_time] => 0.092244 [size_upload] => 0 [size_download] => 509 [speed_download] => 2948 [speed_upload] => 0 [download_content_length] => 0 [upload_content_length] => 0 [starttransfer_time] => 0.172563 [redirect_time] => 0 ) 

The whole code Im using:

<h2>Please Enter Zip Code</h2>
		<p>
            <form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
            <input type="text" size="10" maxlength="10" name="zipcode" tabindex="1" value="<?php echo $_POST['zipcode'];?>" /> <input type="submit" value="Search" name="submit" tabindex="2" />
            </form>
            <br />
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
$userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1';

$mercurl = "http://app.alliedinsurance.com/find_agent/calcpage4_1_popup.cfm?RequestTimeout=180";
$postcom = "City=&State=AR&ZipCode=" . urlencode($zipcode) . "&Miles=" . urlencode('20') . "&SubmitThis=Submit";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $userAgent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$mercurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER_OUT, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOP_REFERRER, "http://app.alliedinsurance.com/find_agent/find_an_agent_popup.cfm");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postcom);

$html = curl_exec($ch);
print_r(curl_getinfo($ch)); 
$html = @mb_convert_encoding($html, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'utf-8');
curl_close( $ch );
echo $html;
?>

Mate if you would bother to turn error reporting on you would see 2 obvious errors.

 

You misspelled two of the cURL options.

 

 

CURLOP_REFERRER should be CURLOPT_REFERER

CURLOPT_HEADER_OUT does not exist, you already have CURLOPT_HEADER.

 

Fix that then you should see it works.

Oh God, thanks bro.

Also your retrieval code can be shortened, most of the cURL options are redundant in this case. Plus POST only the minimum required POST fields:

 

$ch = curl_init('http://app.alliedinsurance.com/find_agent/calcpage4_1_popup.cfm?RequestTimeout=180');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://app.alliedinsurance.com/find_agent/find_an_agent_popup.cfm');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "State=&City=&ZipCode=$_POST[zipcode]");

$html = curl_exec($ch);

CURLOPT_HEADER_OUT does not exist, you already have CURLOPT_HEADER.

 

Not in it's written form.  It isn't a CURLOPT, but a CURLINFO.

 

CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT TRUE to track the handle's request string. Available since PHP 5.1.3. The CURLINFO_ prefix is intentional.
