Form Id with PHP + cURL
Hi,
I hope someone can help me with a small info.
I 'm trying to post following form data using cURL to IIS server (not under my control), but remote site is obviusely checking »form id«.
Question is how to send »form id« via cURL?
HTML
<form id=admin action="www.somesite.com/test.asp" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="var1" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="var2" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="var3" value="3">
<input type="submit" name="button" value="push">
</form>
PHP + cURL
<?
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL," www.somesite.com/test.asp");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
"var1=1&var2=2&var3=3id=ad
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
?>
Any Ideas?
Thx, Robert

Hi hernst42,
I tried that option too, but no luck.
My wild guess would be that remote site is using "Request.Form("id")" method for checking

I have used you example code and looked into the transmitted HTTP-protocol there where only those 4 variables sent to the webserver:
var1=1&var2=2&var3=3&butto
var1=1&var2=2&var3=3&butto
Request.Form("id")
would return "admin" if you also had <input type="hidden" name="id" value="admin">
your wild guess is quite inaccurate. <form id= ID is used by Javascript in validation, e.g. document.id.submit(); to call the submit routine on that particular form.
The server is more likely to be picking up the referring page and throwing your input out.

My HTML example code IS working,
and PHP+cURL is NOT, I'm not very familiar with .asp so my guess is / can be inaccurate.
How to solve the problem is basic question ... any more ideas?

var1=1&var2=2&var3=3id=adm
should be
var1=1&var2=2&var3=3&id=ad

Tried ... var1=1&var2=2&var3=3&id=ad
I'm posting to .asp page (which structure or code I have not seen), so I can not say how it functions or what it checks, but never the less HTML example (resides on my server so the referer can not be a problem) which I posted a few posts up ... is working, So only difference between HTML example and cURL is "form id", also if I throw "form id" out, HTML example does not work anymore.
