PHP Automatic Login Using Curl

If you’are lazy people like me. This script may help u. This script is to automated our login to some site.You must have cURL installed to use this script.

< ?php
// INIT CURL
$ch = curl_init();

// SET URL FOR THE POST FORM LOGIN
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.external-site.com/Members/Login.php');

// ENABLE HTTP POST
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

// SET POST PARAMETERS : FORM VALUES FOR EACH FIELD
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'fieldname1=fieldvalue1&fieldname2=fieldvalue2');

// IMITATE CLASSIC BROWSER'S BEHAVIOUR : HANDLE COOKIES
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie.txt');

# Setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER variable to 1 will force cURL
# not to print out the results of its query.
# Instead, it will return the results as a string return value
# from curl_exec() instead of the usual true/false.
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// EXECUTE 1st REQUEST (FORM LOGIN)
$store = curl_exec ($ch);

// SET FILE TO DOWNLOAD
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.external-site.com/Members/Downloads/AnnualReport.pdf');

// EXECUTE 2nd REQUEST (FILE DOWNLOAD)
$content = curl_exec ($ch);

// CLOSE CURL
curl_close ($ch);
