Ave, We need to login to a client¹s website in order to feed some data to their database, using their forms. To automate it, I¹m trying to use Curl to login. This is their form: <form name="Form1" method="post" action="http://www.website.com/Login.aspx"; id="Form1"> <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="dDwtNDI5NDcwNDM2Ozs+oeS6YcaxMhbb66r8w2jsMzFiezM=" /> <input name="login:username" VALUE="usr" type="HIDDEN" id="login_username" /> <input name="login:password" VALUE="pwd" type="HIDDEN" id="login_password" /> <input name="login:txtAffiliateCode" VALUE="db" type="HIDDEN" id="login_txtAffiliateCode" /> <input type="submit" name="login:loginbutton" value="Login" id="login_loginbutton"> </form> I¹m not quite sure why their field names have a ³:² and what purpose it serves, but I just can¹t seem to login using Curl no matter what I try. I¹ve gone through testing different codes, and this is where I¹m at to make this work: <?php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.website.com/Login.aspx";); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, urlencode('login:username')."=usr&".urlencode('login:password')."=pwd&".urle ncode('login:txtAffiliateCode')."=db&".urlencode('__VIEWSTATE')."=".urlencod e('dDwtNDI5NDcwNDM2Ozs+oeS6YcaxMhbb66r8w2jsMzFiezM=')); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $result=curl_exec ($ch); if (curl_errno($ch)) { print curl_error($ch); } curl_close ($ch); print_r($result); ?> Needless to say that if I put their form ³as-is² on a page on my server and specify full URL in ³ACTION², it works. Why is Curl failing to log me in? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rahul Sitaram Johari CEO, Twenty Four Seventy Nine Inc.
