$header[0] = "Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,";

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,$agents[array_rand($agents)]);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://google.com/");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE); ///** Follow Redirect
$html1 = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

Above is my function and i am trying to get a page from proxy site
echo get_data('http://www.hostfast.info/browse.php?u=lZpnCp2dHRM0%2BnBp1Ljfmr8I%2BA%3D%3D&b=5');
But this is not working ....its giving me home page of that site and if i am trying new search its also not working... i am new to CURL ... but i think there is some thing to do with cookies ... how can i fix this

Answer 1

To save cookie in cURL with PHP:
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "yourcookiefile.txt");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "yourcookiefile.txt");

Answer 2

define('POSTURL', 'http://hostfast.info/includes/process.php?action=update');
define('POSTVARS', 'u=google.com/complete/search?output=toolbar&q=love'); // POST VARIABLES TO BE SENT
$ch = curl_init(POSTURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS ,POSTVARS);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER ,0); // DO NOT RETURN HTTP HEADERS
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER ,1); // RETURN THE CONTENTS OF THE CALL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "yourcookiefile.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "yourcookiefile.txt");
$Rec_Data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $Rec_Data;
This works .. ;)
