Posting and more

Hi

 

    I have been researching this for a while but can’t seem to figure out a solution. There’s a page, that cannot be changed, that takes variables passed through the POST command which determine and display a certain notice.

 

    Is there some (magical) way to simulate a POST command server side, and then do a file_get_contents() to store what the page writes?

 

    I know you can use cUrl to simulate POSTs but how can you "download" the page after?

 

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hmm...

try using cURL() like you mentioned above,

and then try telling the script to download

the page you are on after you run cURL(),

something like this:

 

<?php
function Post($vars,$url){
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,1);
        #curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_UPLOAD,1);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$vars);
        curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
}

$url = "http://www.your-website.com/script.php";
$vars = "name=john&sex=male&weight=160"; // Desired Post Data

Post($vars,$url);
file_get_contents($url);

?>

Hi

 

    Thank you for replying. I applied this and the Post function seems to output the code to the page?

oops,

i forgot something,

try this:

 

<?php
function Post($vars,$url){
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,1);
        #curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_UPLOAD,1);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$vars);
        curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
}

$url = "http://www.website.com/post.php"; // URL Where You Want The Post Data To Go To
$vars = "name=john&sex=male&weight=160"; // Desired Post Data
$my_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; // Your URL

Post($vars,$url);
file_get_contents($my_url);

?>
