note 48465 added to ref.curl

If you're trying to post forms to an ASP.NET server, you will need to include the value of the __VIEWSTATE hidden field in your post. You can get it like this: $html = curl_exec($ch); $matches = array(); preg_match('/<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="([^"]*?)" \/>/', $html, $matches); $viewstate = $matches[1]; $viewstate = urlencode($viewstate); That last urlencode() is the bit that drove me crazy for a while. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48465 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48465&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48465&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48465&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48465&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48465&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48465&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48465&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
