Curl redirect not working? - php

My CURL redirect is not working i am redirected to same page but the same page is empty when it is rendered after i submit it. Here is my code.
$ch = curl_init("http://localhost/soft/entercode.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'variable1=abc&variable2=123');
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

look into the configurations cause this error is sometime caused by installed CURL check that if the installation files have all the required files for win 32 version of CURL.

Try adding and changing:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
Hope it works for you

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,"http://localhost/soft/entercode.php");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,2);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'variable1=abc&variable2=123');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS,1);
$buffer = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Check this it will work ..

How to maintain the response header

I'm having trouble understanding how CURL handles headers.
I have a site.com/page1 that I want to access with CURL it does a 308 redirect to site.com/page2/file.zip
What I need is to go through site.com/page1 with CURL but download site.com/page2/file.zip directly from site.com
I'm using this code but it does not work as expected. It accesses site.com/page1 redirects to site.com/page2/file.zip but opens the file in the browser
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $_cookie_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $_cookie_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_exec($ch);
$error = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
I guess if I can keep the response headers I'll fix the problem. But how do I do it ?? How do I use the same headers for the CURL visitor that the site I am accessing is sending me.
You want the cURL option RETURNTRANSFER set to true so what is returned comes back to you. Since you are trying to save a ZIP file you'll also need to open a file and use the CURLOPT_FILE option to tell cURL where to save your ZIP file.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,'180'); # 3 minute timeout
$FileOut = fopen('MyZIP_File.zip','w') or die('Could not open the output data file');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FILE,$FileOut);
curl_exec ($ch);
fclose($FileOut) or die('We ran into a problem saving data file');
This solved the problem.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $_cookie_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $_cookie_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (preg_match('~Location: (.*)~i', $result, $match)) {
$location = trim($match[1]);
header('Location:' . $location);
}

Curl returns no data (NULL) PHP

Very simple code in PHP, that looks like this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://[heres url]");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('keycode: [heres keycode]'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump(json_decode($output, true));
// echo $output; doesn't work as well
[heres url], [heres keycode] - url and keycode are correct
If I run the same script in a app (for example I am using a chrome app named Advanced REST Client) - everything works.
In my PHP script the result is either empty or NULL.
What could be the problem? Thanks.
$url='https://randomuser.me/api/';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION , 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('keycode: [here value]'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
$html = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump(json_decode($html, true));

cURL follow .ASP Link gets 404

I have the following small cURL PHP Script which has to follow an ASP link:
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://partners.webmasterplan.com/click.asp?ref=<ID>&site=14910&type=text&tnb=2');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie_jar.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie_jar.txt');
$page= curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
But I only get:
The requested URL /click4.aspx was not found on this server.
Has anybody got an idea as to what am I doing wrong?

curl fetching content of redirected webpage

I try to login in a site which has a combined login.
The redirect to this site works fine and the redirect back as well ... but only if I stop the PHP programm with die(). Unfortunately it is not stored in $return, which I would need to proceed.
Any ideas, what I am doing wrong? Much appreciated!
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTREDIR, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, URI_LOGIN);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
// PREPARING THE LOGIN
$referer = URI_LOGIN . '?ReturnUrl=' . urlencode('/returnUrl/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $referer);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, COOKIE);
$post = ...;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post) );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, '...');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, TRUE);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
// LOGIN
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, COMBINED_LOGIN);
$post = ...;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post) );
$return = curl_exec($ch);
// ...
?>
There was a problem with javascript. It stucked on an 'in-between'-page and I had to make another curl request to get to the right page.
Now it is working fine!
