[SOLVED] CURL issue. (These rarely beat me!)

[Anidazen]

Hey -- thanks in advance for the help!

 

 

This is a bit of a mystery.

 

I am trying to automatically update my signature link in a forum (http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/ to be precise -- if that's relevant).

 

I can't do it! No matter what I try, I cannot get the page to work.

 

I have used a header viewer to give the EXACT same cookie string that my real user-session has at that point.

The code is as below. The postvars are exactly right too... I flipped the form method to GETs and copied and pasted from the URL.

 

Given seemingly EXACTLY the same information as the browser feeds it, I cannot elicit the same response. I'm running this from my desktop so even the IP will be the same!

 

 

Please advise!

 

 

 

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

if($postvars){curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postvars);}

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $cookie);

ob_start();

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

$content = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();
