Multiple cURL requests

I've never touched cURL but I think I am going to get my feet wet!

How do I submit multiple requests to post.php?

For example:

Post: id = 4
Post: id = 5
Post: id = 1

If it makes any difference, I do not want to need to get a response from the server...

 

The value for id would get overwritten each time. A variable cannot have multiple values unless it's an array. Or do you want to send them one by one?

In this case do:

$ids = array(1, 4, 5);

$ch = curl_init('http://localhost/post.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

foreach ($ids AS $id)
{
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "id={$id}");
	curl_exec($ch);
}

PHP:

 

nico - yes I want to send each request... so 3 POSTs.... I've having trouble dealing with the session variables as the page POSTing to alters the session array.... how do I send/get the session variables?

 

Try enabling cookies.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookies.txt');

PHP:

 

I believe when I did this, it worked... in the sense that when I saw output from my third request, it held data from my first request. HOWEVER, it did not translate back to my original page...

 

Maybe this?

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

PHP:

If not, I don't think what you mean by "translate back to my original page".

 

I mean, if I make my 2nd request it still has data from the first request. If I send my third request, it still has the previous 2 (as is what I want). HOWEVER, it DOES NOT have my EXISTING session data prior to my first request nor do I see how to get the session data set and apply it to current $_SESSION array... they are different session Ids I think...

 

So, anybody have any idea how to make cURL requests with the current session?
