Submit a form via curl (method = GET)

Hi all,

I want to submit a form (GET) via my script submit.php. This is how the form (testform.php) looks like:

<form id="myform" name="myform" method="get" action="final.php?version=MAIN">
<input name="firstname" type="firstname" id="firstname" size="20" />
<input name="preis" type="hidden" value="1.00">
<input type=image alt="submitnow" src="images/submitnow.gif" name=SUBMIT></td>
</form>

Code (markup):

I found this function:

function hitForm($loginURL, $loginFields, $referer="") {
	$ch = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, cookie.txt);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, cookie.txt);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginURL);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $loginFields);
	$ret = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	return $ret;
}

PHP:

But I can not get it to work ...

By the way: is there any difference in submitting a form (GET) and simply call an url like this: final.php?version=MAIN&firstname=myname etc. ??

 

What are you trying to do?

 

You do not need to use CURL.

On final.php, the link in the address bar would look like:

final.php?firstname=XX&preis=XX

Add a hidden field for version=MAIN.

Then simple use PHP to handle those values via $_GET global variable.

Peace,
