I need help in trying to use curl to post data to a page and retrieve the results after the form has been submitted.
I created a simple form:
<form name="test" method="post" action="form.php">
<input type="text" name="name" size="40" />e
<input type="text" name="comment" size="140" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
In addition, I have php code to handle this form in the same page. All it does is echo back the form values.
The curl that I have been using is this:
$h = curl_init();
curl_setopt($h, CURLOPT_URL, "path/to/form.php");
curl_setopt($h, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($h, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(
'name' = 'yes',
'comment' = 'no'
));
curl_setopt($h, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($h, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($h);
When I launch the page with the curl code in it, I get the form.php page contents but it doesn't not show
the variables that PHP should have echo'd when the form is submitted.
would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks.
