PHP CURL - Session expired - php

Question

I'm trying to make an voip call with PHP CURL and MEGAVOIP.
The problem is i can't manage the session to access the page protected by a password.
I looked which variables are posted to the login page to post it with Curl.
But my code doesn't work.
Following Colin Morelli and Waygood's advices, I just added those lines in both commands:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookies_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookies_file);
but it's still the same:
Megavoip returns: SESSION EXPIRED
So here is my full code:
<?php
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
$username="***";
$password="***";
$url="https://www.megavoip.com/login";
$url2="https://www.megavoip.com/phone_to_phone/";
$timeout = 10;
$cookies_file = 'cookies.txt';
// HERE I GET THE TOKEN
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookies_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookies_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
preg_match_all('/<input[^>]+>/i',$content, $result);
preg_match_all('/(id|value)=("[^"]*")/i',$result[0][5], $img);
$img1=str_replace('"', '', $img[0][0]);
$img2=str_replace('"', '', $img[0][1]);
$img1=substr($img1,3);
$img2=substr($img1,6);
$postdata = "login%5Busername%5D=".$username."&login%5Bpassword%5D=".$password."&page_referrer=login&".$img1."=".$img2;
// HERE I SEND THE VARIABLES
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookies_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookies_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
// IF LOGGED HERE I'LL MAKE THE CALL
curl_close($ch);
echo $content;
exit;
?>
Any ideas to help me?
This is a test account so feel free to use my login and password if you want to have a look on this and help me!
Thank you a lot in advance.

Ok you need to forward the cookie/session after login,
you need to first extract the cookie from Header after login like following
// HERE I GET THE TOKEN
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
.... ....
.... ....
$content = curl_exec($ch);
preg_match('/^Set-Cookie:\s*([^;]*)/mi', $content, $m);
parse_str($m[1], $cookies);
$cookie = $cookies['NAMEOFCOOKIEUNEEDHERE'];
After that need to use $cookie variable in curl options like that
// HERE I SEND THE VARIABLES
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, 'NAMEOFCOOKIEUNEEDHERE='.$cookie);
I hope your problem will be resolved.
