tricky php login question...

mrlugal

Hi,
I'm trying to make it possible to login from a cpanel account from my main site login. I found some code that opens up the socket, but how would I then display or redirect to that page?

Just to reiterate what I'm trying to do, rather than having them type in: lonestarservers.com/cpanel/ and then have the http auth form popup, I want them to be able to type in their user and pass on the index.php page and have it process it for them without that http auth popup.

$host = "lonestarservers.com";
$cpaneluser = "testcom";
$cpanelpass = "hometown";

$socket = fsockopen($host,2082);
$authstr = "$cpaneluser:$cpanelpass";
$pass = base64_encode($authstr);

$in = "GET /frontend/Xskin/index.html\r\n HTTP/1.0\r\nAuthorization: Basic $pass \r\n";

fputs($socket,$in);

Any help would be appreciated, thanks...

Hi there 🙂

You're very very close, just got one extra step. Kudos on getting this far, most people have no idea 😉 AFAIK, you can't redirect from here (I've only ever done this manually using POST data, not GET). What you'll need to do is use your socket to get the data from the page you're writing to, and display it from within the one you're processing, like so:

$in = "GET /frontend/Xskin/index.html\r\n HTTP/1.0\r\nAuthorization: Basic $pass \r\n";

fputs($socket,$in);

while(!feof($socket)) {

$data .= fgets($socket, 4096);
}

fclose($socket);

echo $data;

Still having trouble getting it to display. Here's what I've got so far.
It just loads for a long period of time, and then it finishes with a blank, white html screen.
Any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks a lot
