I've been unable to authenticate using curl to: https://www.eyez-on.com/EZMAIN/login.php Here's my code (based on question Login to remote site with PHP cURL):
<?php
echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A');
echo "<br>";
//username and password of account
$username = trim($values["email@domain.com"]);
$password = trim($values["mypassword"]);
//login form action url
$url="https://www.eyez-on.com/EZMAIN/login.php";
$postinfo = "email=".$username."&password=".$password;
$cookie_file_path = "/cookie/cookie.txt";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path);
//set the cookie the site has for certain features, this is optional
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "cookiename=0");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postinfo);
curl_exec($ch);
//page with the content I want to grab
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.eyez-on.com/EZMAIN/account.php");
//do stuff with the info with DomDocument() etc
$html = curl_exec($ch);
echo $html;
curl_close($ch);
?>
I'm wondering if the problem is that the login page form has method GET. Here's a segment of the source of the login page:
<form action="" method="get" id="login">
<fieldset>
<legend>Login</legend>
<ul>
<li>
<label for="email"><span class="required">User Account</span></label>
<input id="email" name="email" class="text required email" type="text" />
<label for="email" class="error">This must be a valid email address</label>
</li>
<li>
<label for="password"><span class="required">Password</span></label>
<input name="password" type="password" class="text required" id="password" minlength="4" maxlength="20" />
</li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
<fieldset class="submit">
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Login..." />
</fieldset>
<div class="clear"></div>
</form>
My ultimate goal is once logged in, go to one of my account pages, get some data and create a php variable with the data. The /cookie directory is read/write able by everyone and the cookie.txt file gets written - so that's not the problem. I've worked on this for days............any help would be appreciated.
