CURL And GET Forms

Recommended Posts

I have finally used curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); and curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); on post forms to retrun results, but what about a GET Form Method?  How do you deal with these with curl?  The same commands? 

The particular instance I am dealing with is a store locator and it is not as easy as just calling the url with the variables becasue it runs some script behind the scene that does a bunch of calculations for calculating the lat. and lon. of the store so it can call a mappoint map.  After the form submission the url is a mess and pretty customized to the zip code searched with lat and lon.

Here is an example of the form action:

[code]<form Method="GET" Action="http://go.mappoint.net/ccc/Geocode.aspx?brand=h&amp;FC=ccc&amp;FC=ccc" Name="OutsideUS">[/code]


Here is an mocked up example of a resulting URL after the form submission:

http://go.mappoint.net/ccc/PrxResults.aspx?&LOC=33.8982869073812%3a-117.612688299845&CT=33.8982869073812%3a-117.612688299845%3a14.2501126753095%3a10.6875845064821&DSN=MapPoint.NA&GAD2=&GCITY=&GSTATE=&GZIP=92880&GAD3=+92880&GAD4=USA&IC=33.8982869073812%3a-117.612688299845%3a33%3a+92880&LL=en-US&AD4=USA&FC=isccc&brand=a

How would I deal with this in curl?  Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you!
