I'm trying to create a script using PHP and Curl that would log into eBay. I had something similar to this, except it wasn't through SSL, that worked until a few days ago... Can someone help me find the error/s of this code?
That is a lot of post data, and if it's suddenly stopped working after a day I would suggest it's dynamic (i.e. some sort of time sensitive value in there). You should really visit ebay.com using curl, and use various string parsing techniques to pull the form data on the page.
Why do you need to automate logging in ? If you are trying to create a monitor script that will monitor the prices of commodities, I think you wouldn't need to login. Also, beware that most of these kind sites won't allow automation scripts or bots.
