Logging in to a website cURL!
- by uknowho_freeman
I am using cURL for the first time. I need to login to a site.
I have problem with setting cookie file and to retrive, so that i can acces that page not just one time, but several times.
I found the code on the web, for logging in to a site and Scrap a page for some detailed info, cause to get that page it takes to much time.
so i just want to know if it is OK! the code belove(it is just for login in the code for Scraping its not ready)
<?php
curl_login('http://mywantedsite.com/login.php','user=******&pass=******','','off');
echo curl_grab_page('http://mywantedsite.com/somepage.php','','off');
function curl_login($url,$data,$proxy,$proxystatus){
$fp = fopen("cookie.txt", "w");
fclose($fp);
$login = curl_init();
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 40);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
if ($proxystatus == 'on') {
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
}
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
ob_start(); // prevent any output
return curl_exec ($login); // execute the curl command
ob_end_clean(); // stop preventing output
curl_close ($login);
unset($login);
}
