Power How to submit form on an php webpage from command line?
Hello,

i have page domain.com/form.php

the form fields on form.php are named:

Code:
name=ipaddress
name=port

and submit button is named: submit

i want to ask how the linux command will look like to submit the form filled with:

ipaddress: 127.0.0.1
port: 80

I tried various curl and wget commands but no luck to get page and submit

Code:
wget --post-data="field1=value1&field2=value2" site

Please show what 'various things' you try and exactly in what way they 'do not work'.

I tried this and it appears it just downloading data to my computer instead submitting webform, im not sure Smilie

All web page queries end up downloading something. That also uploads a POST query too, namely, "field1=value1&field2=value2".

You did change this to your needs, yes?

You did check your server for the necessary results, yes?

If not, both of those things would be a real great idea.

Yes, i changed it to match my form field names and the file it downloaded is just php file with html content (source code) i dont know how more i can check results.

i found that in the form is another field like:
<input type="hidden" name="hobby" value="football">

but i did not mention this field in my command, not sure if its correct

Yes, you need to mention that value, too.

If you don't know then I certainly don't. Sorry. All I can tell you is that it's going to download a .php file whether the form succeeds or not... Its contents might tell you whether it succeeded or failed. What is supposed to happen when you submit this form?
