Hi all I have need to simulate the role of a web browser by submitting the following code. <form name="form1" action="propsearch.pl" method="post"> <textarea rows="12" cols="70" name="msg">GREENc</textarea> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> Heres my PHP code that got from the curl function. <?php $url = "www.example.com"; $page = "/cgi-bin/ecco/scripts/h2h/glo/propsearch.pl"; $post_string = "msg=GREE01"; $header = "POST ".$page." HTTP/1.0 "; $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0 "; $header .= "Content-type: application/PTI26 "; $header .= "Content-length: ".strlen($post_string)." "; $header .= "Content-transfer-encoding: text "; $header .= "Request-number: 1 "; $header .= "Document-type: Request "; $header .= "Interface-Version: Test 1.4 "; $header .= "Connection: close "; $header .= $post_string; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $header); $data = curl_exec($ch); if (curl_errno($ch)) { print curl_error($ch); } else { curl_close($ch); } print $data; ?> Any assistant would gratefully be appreciated.
