curl POST method technique

[karthikeyan_coder]

Hello,
      I need to fill a post method form,Submit and get result via CURL. i can get the remote form and i can fill it. After submitting the form url truns in to actual remote url.

for example..
<form ... action="https://somedomain.com/onsubmit.php">
<input .. >

</form>

let us say above code is available in https://somedomain.com/form.php


my code is...
[code]<?php

function open_https_url($url,$refer = "",$usecookie = false) {
    if ($usecookie) {     
        if (file_exists($usecookie)) {     
            if (!is_writable($usecookie)) {
              return "Can't write to $usecookie cookie file, change file permission to 777 or remove read only for windows.";
            }
        } else {
            $usecookie = "cookie.txt";
            if (!is_writable($usecookie)) {             
                return "Can't write to $usecookie cookie file, change file permission to 777 or remove read only for windows.";
            }
} 
    }

  $post_data = array(); 
  $post_data['name'] = "karthi";
  $post_data['login'] = "keyan";
    $ch = curl_init(); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);     
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:8118');   
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"); 
    if ($usecookie) {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $usecookie);     
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $usecookie); 
    }
      if ($refer != "") { 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $refer );     
    } 
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); 
  $result =curl_exec ($ch); 
  curl_close ($ch); 
  return $result;
}
echo  open_https_url("https://somedomain.com/form.php","",true);
?>[/code]

by this code i am getting a form. full form submission should be done behind a proxy.

Any ideas?

That's not the way you use cURL's post.
Try this:

[code]<?php

function open_https_url($url,$refer = "",$usecookie = false) {
    if ($usecookie) {     
        if (file_exists($usecookie)) {     
            if (!is_writable($usecookie)) {
              return "Can't write to $usecookie cookie file, change file permission to 777 or remove read only for windows.";
            }
        } else {
            $usecookie = "cookie.txt";
            if (!is_writable($usecookie)) {             
                return "Can't write to $usecookie cookie file, change file permission to 777 or remove read only for windows.";
            }
} 
    }

  $post_data = "name=karthi&login=keyan";
    $ch = curl_init(); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);     
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:8118');   
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)"); 
    if ($usecookie) {
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $usecookie);     
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $usecookie); 
    }
      if ($refer != "") { 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $refer );     
    } 
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); 
  $result =curl_exec ($ch); 
  curl_close ($ch); 
  return $result;
}
echo  open_https_url("https://somedomain.com/form.php","",true);
?>[/code]
