Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting General Q: how to run/schedule a php script from cron jobs maybe via bash from shell? Post 302316832 by lowmaster on Saturday 16th of May 2009 10:58:40 PM

Thanx alot otheus, for these golden hints.

My first try will be that curl thing... Too bad I am a total noob with php.

From what I tried, this one seems to

- log me in propperly, and
- saves a cookies.txt, as a textfile, which seems to be valid and
- loads the exact page, where the go button is, and where all the parameters have to filled into the form.

I call it with: php curl.php > test.html
and If I open the test.html with my browser, I see the exact copy of the page

But now the next step would be, clicking to the go button somehow, and of course "filling out the form" befor clicking go.

There I am stuck now... I have no idea how to do that...

<?php
$username="test";
$password="test";
$cookie="cookies.txt";
$url="http://192.168.0.234/";
$postdata = "log=". $username ."&pwd=". $password ."&subm-cia=Log%20In&redir_to=". $url ."cia/edit.php?page=CIA.php";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url . "login-cia.php");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url . "login-cia.php");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$result = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;

exit;
?>

edit:
as far as I could research so far there are $_get and $_post ways to set variables. In my case $_get would be easy, as I could set the variables via the url. I now have to figure out how I can handle this if I have $_post is used here.

CURLOPT_SHARE(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options						  CURLOPT_SHARE(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_SHARE - specify share handle to use SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SHARE, CURLSH *share); DESCRIPTION
Pass a share handle as a parameter. The share handle must have been created by a previous call to curl_share_init(3). Setting this option, will make this curl handle use the data from the shared handle instead of keeping the data to itself. This enables several curl handles to share data. If the curl handles are used simultaneously in multiple threads, you MUST use the locking methods in the share handle. See curl_share_setopt(3) for details. If you add a share that is set to share cookies, your easy handle will use that cookie cache and get the cookie engine enabled. If you unshare an object that was using cookies (or change to another object that doesn't share cookies), the easy handle will get its cookie engine disabled. Data that the share object is not set to share will be dealt with the usual way, as if no share was used. Set this option to NULL again to stop using that share object. DEFAULT
NULL PROTOCOLS

TODO AVAILABILITY
Always RETURN VALUE
