PHP Question

[jroy]

Ok, I was just wondering if it was possible to code a php script to take a username and password and then open up a page on another site, insert the data into a log in page, and depending on what the page does return a message. I assume this would be like making a spammer, with PHP, to sign up on various sites and post shit. I'm not making a spammer, just testing one of my ideas. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Josh

Sure, you need curl for that purpose

Will this actually use the other page? I can't just submit form data to the page, its a secure server (https).

Use my cURL class.

<?php

include('class.curl.php');
$curl->set_https();
$data = $curl->post("https://somesitehere.com", "username=Admin&password=moo");
echo $data;

?>

Ok, thanks, but when I use that all it returns is a 1, no matter what the password is. If there is no password then it just brings up the login page. Any idea why?

Well, you need to set the URL portion of it to the form's action URL.

Then you need to use the correct input field names to make it work. (<input name="pass" ...> or something.) It might not be username and password. There could be other fields you need to fill out, too.
