I'm trying to login to this asp.net page from my PHP code, (set username field value, set password field value, press button and then check where it is redirected.) I can set the username field, but for some reason I cannot set the password field (see line 226 in HTML file).
<?php
$url = "https://www.lectio.dk/lectio/518/login.aspx";
$ckfile = tempnam("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE");
$useragent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.342.3 Safari/533.2';
$username = "XXXXXXX";
$password = "XXXXXXX";
$f = fopen('log.txt', 'w'); // file to write request header for debug purpose
/**
Get __VIEWSTATE & __EVENTVALIDATION
*/
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);
$html = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
preg_match('~<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="(.*?)" />~', $html, $viewstate);
preg_match('~<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="(.*?)" />~', $html, $eventValidation);
$viewstate = $viewstate[1];
$eventValidation = $eventValidation[1];
