PHP curl post to login to wordpress
- by Sadi
I followed http://stackoverflow.com/questions/724107 to login to wordpress, using php_curl, and it works fine as far I use WAMP, (apache/php).
But when it comes to IIS on the dedicated server, it returns nothing.
I have wrote the following function which is working fine on my local wamp, but when deployed to client's dedicated windows server 2k3, it doesn't. Please help me
function post_url($url, array $query_string)
{
//$url = http://myhost.com/wptc/sys/wp/wp-login.php
/* $query_string = array(
'log'=>'admin',
'pwd'=>'test',
'redirect_to'=>'http://google.com',
'wp-submit'=>'Log%20In',
'testcookie'=>1
);
*/
//temp_dir is defined as folder = path/to/a/folder
$cookie= temp_dir."cookie.txt";
$c = curl_init($url);
if (count($query_string))
{
curl_setopt ($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
http_build_query( $query_string )
);
}
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie);
//curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
//curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6");
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //return the content
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
//curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, 1);
//curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_REFERER, wp_admin_url);
//curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
//curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_CRLF, 1);
try {
$result = curl_exec($c);
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
$result = 'error';
}
curl_close ($c);
return $result; //it return nothing (empty)
}
Other Facts
curl_error($c); return nothing
when header CURLOPT_HEADER is set to ON,
it return this header
