I'm implementing one project using PHP, in that I want to login into a page automatically . The code is below.
$ch = curl_init();
$postdata="Email=$username&Passwd=$password&continue=https://www.mail.google.com";
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.google.com");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $gacookie);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $gacookie);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'https://www.google.com');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$AskApache_result = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $AskApache_result;
unlink($gacookie);
?>
But it won't work. Any ideas?
First of all: "it won't work" does not give us much information and context to help you solving the problem.
To get your questions answered, please try to supply details, for example:
It also helps to use a more descriptive question title. "PHP and CURL" does not give us much relevant information, whereas "How to solve error x123 when executing a CURL request" would be much more helpful.
Anyway. Looking at your code, there's at least one error:
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'https://www.google.com");
should be:
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "https://www.google.com");
Clarification: the third parameter starts with a single quote and ends with a double quote.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
Is the most likely problem, option is disabled on most shared (& free) web hosts because it poses a security risk.
