Question: how can I use CURL for submitting forms?

[scheiner]

Hi,

I have a a php script which is a log-in page, with 2 test fields. one is 'user' and the other is 'password'.

I'd like to know how can I write a CURL script that allow me to access the page ('index.php') with pre-defined values for these fields, that means: simulate the log-in of the user.

I understand that it is very easy to do it with CURL. if anyone here can help me with that, or forward me to a good tutorial, I'd be very grateful.

Tnx,
Uri

The options you want are CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS and CURLOPT_POST

There maybe other options as well but these are the ones you'll definately need.
