PHP - Session With Curl

Im trying to access a page that uses a session hash in the url. How do I accomplish this. The url looks like: http://www.somesite.com/findagent/MapController.aspx?action=getAgentsByRadius&distance=5&filter=PL&sessionhash=%3F%01j%23%3Eo%0AH%05h%0B%3FU%0B%3F%3F%3F%7B%3F%3C&zip=91111
I guess getting the session id and urlencoding on my end wouldnt work? I would have to grab their session id and encode somehow?

Hi to everyone, I'm new to the forum and I'm posting here because I ended up in a logical problem for my next script development. I need to get some data of external websites (with vbulletin board), perfectly legal. Using file_get_contents i can print the page content on my server and then use jquery's powerful selectors to get my data.   The problem is that these data are shown only to logged in users so i would need this script (maybe using cURL?) to either login to the external website and then persists the connection or maybe if the user who is executing my script is already logged in that website then use his login? (most likely impossible I think..)   This is my code so far (found on some sites and merged into this)

$data = array('vb_login_username' => 'Scanu', 'vb_login_password' => 'grgfgrgrfbtgbt');
$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_URL,            "http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/login.php?do=login"); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER,         true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION,         true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,         false); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,        false); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT,         true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_HEADER,             true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_POST,                 true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,        true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,     30); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,         $data); 
$result = curl_exec($ch); 
curl_close($ch);


$pattern = "#Set-Cookie: (.*?; path=.*?;.*?)\n#"; 
preg_match_all($pattern, $result, $matches); 
array_shift($matches); 
$cookie = implode("\n", $matches[0]); 


$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_URL,            "http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/"); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_COOKIE,                $cookie); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER,         true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION,         true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,         false); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,        false); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT,         true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_HEADER,             false); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_POST,                 false); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,        true); 
curl_setopt($ch,    CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,     30); 
$result = curl_exec($ch); 
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
?>

It just shows the same page for unregistered users. Any help or advice is appreciated, i'm very new to this type of script..

I'm trying to post to a (SMF) simplemachines 2.0 forum using curl.

I have logged in and I have tried sending all the fields, but when I try to post, I receive this message:

"The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
Your session timed out while posting. Please try to re-submit your message."

Do any of you know why this happens? Is the problem that when I visit the posting url, they give me a cookie that expires if I leave the posting url?

I don't think the form is invalid, it looks like it has to do with the session. People at the simplemachines forum can have this problem when they try to post the ordinary way, but that is because of an inactivity period. Can my problem be because of a cookie?

good day dear community,

i am workin on a Curl loop to fetch multiple pages:

i have some examples - and a question:

Example: If we want to get information from 3 sites with CURL we can do it like so:


$list[1] = "http://www.example1.com";
$list[2] = "ftp://example.com";
$list[3] = "http://www.example2.com";


After creating the list of links we should initialize the cURL multi handle and adding the cURL handles.


$curlHandle = curl_multi_init();
for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++)
 $curl[$i] = addHandle($curlHandle,$list[$i]);


Now we should execute the cURL multi handle retrive the
content from the sub handles that we added to the cURL multi handle.

ExecHandle($curlHandle);
for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++)
{
 $text[$i] =  curl_multi_getcontent ($curl[$i]);
 echo $text[$i];
}

In the end we should release the handles from the cURL multi handle by calling curl_multi_remove_handle and close the cURL multi handle!

If we want to another Fetch of sites with cURL-Multi - since this is the most pretty way to do it!
Well I am not sure bout the string concatenation. How to do it - Note I want to fetch several hundred pages:
see the some details for this target-server sites - /(I have to create a loop over several hundred sites).

    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9009
    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9742
    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9871

.... and so on and so forth Question: How to appy this loop into the array of the curl-multi?

I look forward to your ideas.
