cUrl login - token problem

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody !

I have this current problem .. I need to login into a website via cUrl .. website : www.v-tac [dot] ro/

Now based on the headers and based on the input fields I wrote a php function, but I hit a wall with the token .

HEADERS :

username=username&password=password&Submit=Conectare&option=com_users&task=user.login&return=aW5kZXgucGhwP0l0ZW1pZD0yMTY%3D&0dbf64fe20e2395a7d72ed5b64b3cf7c=1

FORM FIELDS - copy paste - this is the login form

<fieldset class="userdata">
    
<p id="form-login-username">
        <label for="modlgn-username">Nume Utilizator</label>
        <input id="modlgn-username" type="text" name="username" class="inputbox" size="18">
    </p>
    <p id="form-login-password">
        <label for="modlgn-passwd">Parola</label>
        <input id="modlgn-passwd" type="password" name="password" class="inputbox" size="18">
    </p>
        <p id="form-login-remember">
        <label for="modlgn-remember">Retine utilizator</label>
        <input id="modlgn-remember" type="checkbox" name="remember" class="inputbox" value="yes">
    </p>
    
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" class="button" value="Conectare">
    <input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_users">
    <input type="hidden" name="task" value="user.login">
    <input type="hidden" name="return" value="aW5kZXgucGhwP0l0ZW1pZD0yMTY=">
    <input type="hidden" name="11b09608b3184e6258012d44846c81ed" value="1">    

</fieldset>

And this is the function I wrote to do the cUrl login :

function login_to_website($targetURL){ 

    global $browser_user_agent; 
    if(empty($targetURL)) { return; } 
    if(empty($login_url)) { $login_url = $targetURL; } 
    $url = $login_url; 

    $login_user     = "loginusername"; 
    $login_password = "loginpassword"; 
    $thetoken       = "this-is-my-problem-the-token-from-the-hidden-input";         

    $post_data = array();    
    $post_data['username']  = "$login_user";  
    $post_data['password']  = "$login_password";  
    $post_data['Submit']    = "Conectare"; 
    $post_data['option']    = "com_users"; 
    $post_data['task']      = "user.login"; 
    $post_data['return']    = "aW5kZXgucGhwP0l0ZW1pZD0yMTY%3D"; 
    $post_data[$thetoken]   = "1";           

    $postthis = http_build_query($post_data); 

    $login = curl_init(); 

    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, dirname(__FILE__) . "/cookie.tmpz"); 
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, dirname(__FILE__) . "/cookie.tmpz"); 
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); 
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, random_user_agent()); 
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE); 
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);   
    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE); 
    $timeout = 5; 
    curl_setopt( $login, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout ); 
    curl_setopt( $login, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout ); 
    curl_setopt( $login, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10 );    

    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postthis); // POST vars 

    curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); // debug headers sent - 1 

      $data = curl_exec ($login); 

      curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_URL, $targetURL); 

      $datax = curl_exec ($login); 
      return $datax; 

      // close cURL resource, and free up system resources 
      curl_close($login); 
}  

The problem is this the last array input.

the token is generated each time the page is loaded, located on the page as an input hidden field .

So the question is how do I get a fresh token that will work ?

Also I have tried to get the token with a xpath extract like this :

    $htmlx = file_get_contents('http://www.v-tac.ro'); 
    $htmlx = mb_convert_encoding($htmlx, 'UTF-8', mb_detect_encoding($htmlx)); //make sure this is utf8 
    if(!strlen($htmlx)) {echo "No HTML here . stoping execution ."; return;} 
    $doc = new DomDocument; 
    @$doc->loadHTML($htmlx); 
    $xpath = new DOMXPath($doc); 

    echo $xpath->query('//fieldset[@class="userdata"]/input[5]')->item(0)->getAttribute("name"); 
    $thetoken = $xpath->query('//fieldset[@class="userdata"]/input[5]')->item(0)->getAttribute("name");  

Help !?

the url works fine ... I must scrape the product info, and without a logged in user,i can not get the price and some more details .
there must be a way to do this ... or not ? I don't like to get stuck on something that seems really simple ... and thanks for the link, but it did not help much .

when you make a request to the page every time you get dynamically the value and name of those 2 input fields:

<input type="hidden" value="aW5kZXgucGhwP0l0ZW1pZD0yMTY=" name="return">
<input type="hidden" value="1" name="1555e5a1f4e76fd4029da142aee42022">

then your login credential would be similar like :

username=jazz&password=password&Submit=Conectare&option=com_users&task=user.login&return=aW5kZXgucGhwP0l0ZW1pZD0yMTY%3D&1555e5a1f4e76fd4029da142aee42022=1

in case like this that you don't know which exactly return:value/name would be attached to the login form, download the page using cookies, grab those value/name using regular expression ( they follow the same pattern every time) and attach them to your login credentials dynamically. I'll try to show you an example latter.
