I need to connect to GitHub with Curl using PHP and create a new issue.
I can connect to GitHub and access the 'New Issue' page. However, I cannot POST the Title and Body afterwards. So I do everything but in the last step (ISSUE POST) I encounter the following error.
"What‽ Your browser did something unexpected. Please contact us if the problem persists. "
I don't think there is a problem with cookies
Does anyone have any idea what to do?

I'm new to using cURL and its hard to find good resources for it.
What I'm trying to do is login to a remote site, by having curl do the login form and then send back that it was successful.
The code I have doesn't seem to work and only tries to show the main page of the site.
$username="mylogin#gmail.com";
$password="mypassword";
$url="http://www.myremotesite.com/index.php?page=login";
$cookie="cookie.txt";
$postdata = "email=".$username."&password=".$password;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$result = curl_exec ($ch);
echo $result;
curl_close($ch);
What am I doing wrong. After this is working I want to redirect to another page and get content from my site.
I had let this go for a good while but revisited it later. Since this question is viewed regularly. This is eventually what I ended up using that worked for me.
define("DOC_ROOT","/path/to/html");
//username and password of account
$username = trim($values["email"]);
$password = trim($values["password"]);
//set the directory for the cookie using defined document root var
$path = DOC_ROOT."/ctemp";
//build a unique path with every request to store. the info per user with custom func. I used this function to build unique paths based on member ID, that was for my use case. It can be a regular dir.
//$path = build_unique_path($path); // this was for my use case
//login form action url
$url="https://www.example.com/login/action";
$postinfo = "email=".$username."&password=".$password;
$cookie_file_path = $path."/cookie.txt";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path);
//set the cookie the site has for certain features, this is optional
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "cookiename=0");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postinfo);
curl_exec($ch);
//page with the content I want to grab
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/page/");
//do stuff with the info with DomDocument() etc
$html = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Update: This code was never meant to be a copy and paste. It was to show how I used it for my specific use case. You should adapt it to your code as needed. Such as directories, vars etc
I had same question and I found this answer on this website.
And I changed it just a little bit (the curl_close at last line)
$username = 'myuser';
$password = 'mypass';
$loginUrl = 'http://www.example.com/login/';
//init curl
$ch = curl_init();
//Set the URL to work with
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginUrl);
// ENABLE HTTP POST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//Set the post parameters
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'user='.$username.'&pass='.$password);
//Handle cookies for the login
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');
//Setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER variable to 1 will force cURL
//not to print out the results of its query.
//Instead, it will return the results as a string return value
//from curl_exec() instead of the usual true/false.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//execute the request (the login)
$store = curl_exec($ch);
//the login is now done and you can continue to get the
//protected content.
//set the URL to the protected file
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.example.com/protected/download.zip');
//execute the request
$content = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//save the data to disk
file_put_contents('~/download.zip', $content);
I think this was what you were looking for.Am I right?
And one useful related question. About how to keep a session alive in cUrl: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13020494/2226796
View the source of the login page. Look for the form HTML tag. Within that tag is something that will look like action= Use that value as $url, not the URL of the form itself.
Also, while you are there, verify the input boxes are named what you have them listed as.
For example, a basic login form will look similar to:
<form method='post' action='postlogin.php'>
Email Address: <input type='text' name='email'>
Password: <input type='password' name='password'>
</form>
Using the above form as an example, change your value of $url to:
$url="http://www.myremotesite.com/postlogin.php";
Verify the values you have listed in $postdata:
$postdata = "email=".$username."&password=".$password;
and it should work just fine.
This is how I solved this in ImpressPages:
//initial request with login data
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.example.com/login.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/32.0.1700.107 Chrome/32.0.1700.107 Safari/537.36');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "username=XXXXX&password=XXXXX");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie-name'); //could be empty, but cause problems on some hosts
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/var/www/ip4.x/file/tmp'); //could be empty, but cause problems on some hosts
$answer = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_error($ch)) {
echo curl_error($ch);
}
//another request preserving the session
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.example.com/profile');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "");
$answer = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_error($ch)) {
echo curl_error($ch);
}
Panama Jack Example not work for me - Give Fatal error: Call to undefined function build_unique_path(). I used this code - (more simple - my opinion) :

I'm trying to login on website http://www.discogs.com using PHP script and cURL.
I need that to get data from https://www.discogs.com/sell/mywants?ev=wsim - it's a list of offers with items added to want-list. From what I found this list is not available in API.
I have problem with logging in using standard cURL request. Here's my code:
$username = 'myuser';
$password = 'mypassword';
$loginUrl = 'https://www.discogs.com/login';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'username='.urlencode($username).'&password='.urlencode($password));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'c:\cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'c:\tmp.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/32.0.1700.107 Chrome/32.0.1700.107 Safari/537.36');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_error($ch)) {
echo curl_error($ch);
return;
} else {
echo "OK";
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.discogs.com/sell/mywants?ev=wsim');
$content = curl_exec($ch);
echo $content;
curl_close($ch);
As a result I get login page instead of page with listed offers.
Could you tell me what am I doing wrong?
As I tested, the login page requires posting another field, which is Action.Login in order to make the login request valid.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'username='.urlencode($username).'&password='.urlencode($password).'&Action.Login=');
Hope this helps.

Any help or pointers would be gladly appreciated.
Thank you!
This script gets through the main login form, but does not post at the security question screen. Any help? The result just prints out the security question screen, even though I am trying to make it POST.

This is because you don't have a cert file. You could set option CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to FALSE.
