This is the form code

<form method="post" action="update-core.php?action=do-plugin-upgrade" name="upgrade-plugins" class="upgrade">

I Can't seem to properly submit the checked[] array values. Other fields are fine.

    What have you tried?

    I got all the form values with DOM except the checked[] array used regex so I have all the values in variables but couldn't insert the array into the post request. It doesn't get accepted.

    I just want curl post request to insert the variables along with the checked[] array.

    Here is what I ended up with. which doesn't work at the moment.

    if (preg_match_all("/name='checked\[\]' value='(.*)'/im", $html1, $plugins)) {
	$plugins=$plugins[1];
foreach($plugins as $plugin)	
{
if (strpos($plugin, '.php')) {
$checked=$plugin . ',';
} // verified plugin
}	// plugins loop
} // regex


            $ch3 = curl_init($redirect);
            $post3['action']='do-plugin-upgrade';
            $post3['_wpnonce']=$wp_nonce;
            $post3['_wp_http_referer']=$referrer;
            $post3['upgrade-plugins']='Update+Plugins';
            $post3['checked']=$checked;


            curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_POST, true);
            curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
			curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
            curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);
			curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookies.txt');
			curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookies.txt');
			curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3");
			curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_REFERER, $redirect);
            curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post3);
            curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect: '));
            $html3 = curl_exec($ch3);

    And here is how a manual successful post looks like

    //POST /wp-admin/update-core.php?action=do-plugin-upgrade _wpnonce=eefba3eb0e&_wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fupdate-core.php&checked%5B%5D=akismet%2Fakismet.php&upgrade=Update+Plugins

      Look at the successful POST string you posted; the field name isn't "checked" (which is what your script is attempting to use) but rather "checked[]" (properly URL-encoded, of course). Furthermore, if you had checked multiple checkboxes you would have seen that same field name repeated for each value, e.g. "foo[]=bar&foo[]=baz&..." etc.

      I'm not sure what the proper way to do this using cURL would be, so either try setting the array index 'checkbox[]' equal to an array of values (and hope that cURL is smart enough to understand what you're intending to do) or else build the POST string yourself manually.
