Re: Help, I'm so close!!!

Brandon, I was told of a better way of sending POSTs without using cURL and it allows usernames and passwords to be used... // Format of $authorization is username:password (for password protected directories) // Code can be easily modified to add input parameters for User-Agent, Referer, Cookie, Accept-Encoding or other required headers function HTTPPost($host, $path, $dataToSend, $port = 80, $authorization = "") { if(!($fp = fsockopen($host, $port))) { return "<b>From HTTPPost()</b><br>\n<b>Error:</b> Error opening network socket.<br>\n"; } socket_set_blocking($fp, TRUE); fwrite($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.0\r\n"); if($authorization != "") fwrite($fp, "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode($authorization) . "\r\n"); fwrite($fp, "Host: $host\r\n"); fwrite($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"); fwrite($fp, "Content-length: " . strlen($dataToSend) . "\r\n\r\n"); fwrite($fp, $dataToSend); for($result = ""; !feof($fp); $result .= fread($fp, 1000000)); fclose($fp); return $result; } Many thanks to Brad Jackson who provided this code to me. Marc.

Hello, Using cURL: I have been working for some time to get my PHP program to login to an https site and now that it logs in I can't figure out how to do a post to the site while I am logged in. After I use curl to login I do another curl session to try and emulate a form post. But when I get the results it is just the login page. Does anyone know how after my script logs in to a site I can run another curl post while I am logged in?
