    Hi,
    Please excuse if similar issue has been posted earlier.
    My scenario is
    Login to a https site .
    Once I login,I find a link to download a file.
    Now all this I want to do with the help of curl.
    I want the script for
    1) login to https site
    2)download the file?After applying the regex,I can get the link of the file easily but problem comes for downloading the file?Do I have to use JavaScript for that or use location header to redirect to file download link?
    Thanks in advance

    Make sure you have OpenSSL and Curl installed.

    <?php

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt");

$postfields="username=xxxx&password=xxxxx";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.example.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$postfields);

$result = curl_exec ($ch);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.example.com/file/to/download.txt");

$result = curl_exec ($ch);

$contents = $result;

$handle=fopen("download.txt", 'w');
fwrite($handle, $contents);
fclose($handle);
