PHP cURL refuses to POST to website - php

Question

I would like to ask for some kind assistance. I've been trying for hours reading different articles and Q&As for a possible cure as to why PHP cURL refuses to POST. But none of the methods I try are giving any results.
The website I am attempting to POST to is "pixiv.net". Here is my current PHP code:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, dirname(__FILE__).'/pixiv-cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, dirname(__FILE__).'/pixiv-cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.pixiv.net/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.90 Safari/537.36');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.pixiv.net');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
echo curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)){
echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
} else {
echo 'Operation completed without any errors<br>'; }
//--------------------------------------------
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.secure.pixiv.net/login.php/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
$httpHeader = array(
'Host: www.pixiv.net',
'Connection: keep-alive',
'Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8',
'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2311.90 Safari/537.36',
'DNT: 1',
'Referer: http://www.pixiv.net',
'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, sdch',
'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.8,ja;q=0.6,zh-CN;q=0.4,zh;q=0.2,fr-FR;q=0.2,fr;q=0.2'
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $httpHeader);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$postData='
mode=login
&return_to=%2F
&pixiv_id=#####
&pass=#####
&skip=1
';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
echo curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
unset($ch);
?>
On the website, the HTML portion of the login area is as follows:
<form action="https://www.secure.pixiv.net/login.php" method="post" data-time="1429509525" data-text-confirm="...">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="login">
<input type="hidden" name="return_to" value="/">
<div class="id"><input type="text" class="js-placeholder" id="login_pixiv_id" name="pixiv_id" value="" maxlength="255" placeholder="pixiv ID or Email"></div>
<div class="pass-signin"><input type="password" class="js-placeholder" id="login_password" name="pass" value="" maxlength="32" placeholder="Password"><input type="submit" id="login_submit" value="Login" class="ui-button"></div>
<div class="save-forgotpass"><label><input name="skip" type="checkbox" checked="" value="1">Remember me</label>
<div>Forgot ID or password?
Secure sign-in through SSL (https)</div>
</div></form>
So far, the GET works fine in saving the cookie from the website. I set the HTTP Headers to be the exact same as my current browser's, as well as some other things to help spoof the connection. I blanked out my login details here, but I assure you that they're correct.
The header returned by the website is:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 18:59:09 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Server: nginx
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2015 19:03:25 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 564

Does anybody have an idea as to what I could be doing wrong? If it helps, the website does load (GET) some of their own images, which show as 403's in my browser's console (probably because the website detected that it's not a same-domain request). This PHP page is being run locally on XAMPP, and I'm not getting any errors from cURL.

This is the URL the Browser is being redirected to.
but I skipped Location: http://www.pixiv.net/ because it did not set new cookies.

UPDATE
This starts fresh every login by getting a new cookie to use for login each time it is executed.
This goes to http://www.pixiv.net/ and gets the cookie for the login.
Worked well for me.
$request = array();
$request[] = "Host: www.pixiv.net";
$request[] = "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8";

$request[] = "Connection: keep-alive";
$request[] = "Cache-Control: no-cache";
$request[] = "Pragma: no-cache";
$url = 'http://www.pixiv.net/';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING,"");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING,"");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)){
$data .= 'Retreive Base Page Error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}
else {
Gets the response header:
$skip = intval(curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE));
$head = substr($data,0,$skip);
Finds all Set-Cookie and all the cookies:
$e = 0;
while(true){
$s = stripos($head,'Set-Cookie: ',$e);
if (!$s){break;}
$s += 12;
$e = strpos($head,';',$s);
$cookie = substr($head,$s,$e-$s) ;
$s = strpos($cookie,'=');
$key = substr($cookie,0,$s);
$value = substr($cookie,$s);
$cookies[$key] = $value;
}
Then convert $cookies array back to a string:
$cookie = '';
$delim = '';
foreach ($cookies as $k => $v){
$cookie .= "$delim$k$v";
$delim = '; ';
}
}
Do Login:
$request = array();
$request[] = "Host: www.secure.pixiv.net";
$request[] = "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8";

$request[] = "Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5";
$request[] = "Connection: keep-alive";
$request[] = "Cache-Control: no-cache";
$request[] = "Pragma: no-cache";
With cookie from first request:
$request[] = "Cookie: $cookie";
$postData = 'mode=login&return_to=%2F&pixiv_id=username&pass=password';
$url = 'https://www.secure.pixiv.net/login.php';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,10);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $request);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
$skip = intval(curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE));
$head = substr($data,0,$skip);
$data = substr($data,$skip);
echo $data;
end of update
I went directly to:
https://www.secure.pixiv.net/login.php
Using the cookie from http://www.pixiv.net/
For sure postData was wrong:
$postData='
mode=login
&return_to=%2F
&pixiv_id=#####
&pass=#####
&skip=1
';
It add all the spaces and newline characters:
mode=login
&return_to=%2F
&pixiv_id=#####
&pass=#####
do it like this:
$postData = 'mode=login&return_to=%2F&pixiv_id=username&pass=password';
I did not use these:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.pixiv.net');
I added the cookie to the HTTP Header:
$request[] = "Cookie:PHPSESSID=b2e3185bd045475a2174fb28fb642569;
These I use just in case there is trouble and are not needed.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);

Answer 2

To post make sure you have a proper header set. your variable $httpHeader is defined with all the attributes having the same key '0' and therefore are overwritten each other.

Answer 3

You're sending in a custom Host: header which doesn't match the host name of the URL you're using, which is suspicious and most likely wrong.
I'd advice you to not set a custom Host: header but let curl do its own magic for that, which probably is what you want.
