I'm trying to run a simple PHP form filler; here is the code:


$post = "username=myusername&password=mypassword";
$ch = curl_init("[www.thesite.com];
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$out = curl_exec($ch);

echo $out;

All I'm getting is the /privatelogin page back, as if the POSTFIELDS command ain't working. I cribbed the above example directly from Practical PHP Programming. cURL is enabled properly by editing php.ini under Apache2. For example, here is another trivial snippet which does work:

$ch = curl_init("[www.google.com];
$fp = fopen("example_homepage.txt", "w";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);

So I'm thinking that my problem lies in the CURLOPT commands, and that CURL_POSTFIELDS is the culprit. I'm running 1.7.2 under XP Pro.

Should I report this to the cURL people?

try this (i have not tested this, so i cannot guarantee this will work 100%):

$post = "username=myusername&password=mypassword";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "[www.thesite.com];
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$out = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
