Is this possible?

[Aureole]

Here's basically what I want to do:

 

 

I will put my Windows Live ID email address and password into a PHP script and then:

• Sign in to Xbox.com with the email address and password, in the background.
  
• Once signed in, open the Messages page, in the background.
  
• Check for new messages.
  
• Show them.
  

 

I will be able to work out how to check and show the messages on my own, it's the background stuff I need help with.

 

I'm assuming I'll need to use sockets etc. but I can't find a tutorial or anything on Google on how to do something like this.

Theoretically speaking you can perform this utilising cURL or indeed sockets (if you are more familiar with streams + headers). Each time you make a url call you'll need to parse the response, break out all the information from the html and present it in the fashion you want.

I'm not too familiar with cURL or sockets and I can't find ANYTHING on the web that helps. If anyone has any example code laying around, or doesn't mind writing some then it would be most appreciated.

I'm just going to go ahead and give this a bump, I still can't find any information via Google.

You need to learn to use google better it seems.

php.net search cURL give a plethora of info

About the Google thing, it turns out I was searching *too* specifically.

 

Here's what I have so far and it doesn't work, it just shows the sign in page.

 

<?php
$url = "http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=10&ct=1206715726&rver=4.5.2135.0&wp=MBI&wreply=https:%2F%2Flive.xbox.com%2Fxweb%2Flive%2Fpassport%2FsetCookies.ashx%3Frru%3DhttpZ3AZ2FZ2FwwwZ2ExboxZ2EcomZ2FenZ2DUSZ2FdefaultZ2Ehtm&lc=1033&cb=B001033httpZ3AZ2FZ2FwwwZ2ExboxZ2EcomZ2FenZ2DUSZ2FdefaultZ2Ehtm&id=66262";

$c = curl_init();

curl_setopt( $c, CURLOPT_URL, $url );

curl_setopt( $c, CURLOPT_POST, 2 );

curl_setopt( $c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "i0116=emailaddresshere" );
curl_setopt( $c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "i0118=passwordhere" );

$result1 = curl_exec( $c );

curl_close( $c );

print $result;
?>
