CURL Help

[textbox]

Hello, i wish to process a form automatically using curl. I have tried a few tutorials, but to no avail, any help would be great.

 

The form code is below.

 

<form action="http://heywatch.com/upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" >
  <input type="hidden" value="f60d0e2674709ce68f597ce89ded1bb0" name="key" />
  <input type="hidden" value="http://yoursite.com/upload_success.php" name="redirect_if_success" />
  <input type="hidden" value="http://yoursite.com/upload_error.php" name="redirect_if_error" />
  <input type="hidden" value="20" name="your_site_user_id" />
  <input type="hidden" value="1540" name="post_id" />
  <p><input id="data" name="data" type="file" /></p>
  <p><input name="commit" type="submit" value="Upload" /></p>
</form>

 

Thanks

It wouldn't be fair for us to "program" it for you.

Since you are looking for something pretty basic "with" curl. I can understand it can get frustrating dealing with, because there are hardly any tutorials out there for it.

I mean w3schools.com doesn't even have a part on that yet.

Look around for some tutorial's, work up a rough bit of code and then let us help you to make sense of it and make it work.

Ok, thanks for that.

 

 curl -d "data=$original_url&key=f60d0e2674709ce68f597ce89ded1bb0&press=%20OK%20" http:/heywatch.com/upload

 

This is what i have so far.

 

Do i need to initiate curl at all, or anything similar?

 

Thanks

Right, this is what im using now.

 

$url = "http://heywatch.com/discover";
$ch = curl_init();    // initialize curl handle
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); // set url to post to
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);// allow redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,0); // return into a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3); // times out after 4s
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // set POST method
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"url-field=$fileName&key=f60d0e2674709ce68f597ce89ded1bb0"); // add POST fields
$chresult = curl_exec($ch); // run the whole process
curl_close($ch); 
echo $chresult;

 

Basically, i am trying to get a file URL posted into this API.

The form i have posted above is for an upload, can a URL be put into an upload field form?!

 

Any help on this would be great!
