HI,

I am able to login into the site using php and curl. but when i try to read the data after logging in it shows string(0) “” if CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER enabled and when disabled it shows bool(true). I dont understand where exactly i am going wrong…

any help is really appreciated

heres code 

$cookie_file_path = "C:\\Apache2\\htdocs\\test.txt";


//$fp = fopen($cookie_file_path,'wb');   
//fclose($fp);

$agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/3.6.0";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://kinray.com/redirector1/weblink.jsp");   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_fie_path);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.google.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//Do not print anything now. 
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "custId=XXXXX&passWord=YYYYY");

$html = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump(urlencode($html));

 curl_close();
 $ch1 = curl_init();

   curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_URL,"https://kinray.com/weblink2/search/categories.do?scrollType=&code=&alwaysCustomerNumber=023987");   
   curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_fie_path);
   curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path);
   curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch1,CURLOPT_HTTPGET,true);
   //curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
   //curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
   curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
   $html2 = curl_exec($ch1);
   curl_close();
   echo "<hr>";
   var_dump( $html2);

    should these variables be different?

    //                                              v
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_fie_path);
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,  $cookie_file_path);
//                                              ^

    It may be that your cookies aren’t being stored/retrieved properly.

    httpRequest Class Example (short form static constructors):

    $loginAttempt = httpRequest::post(
        'https://kinray.com/redirector1/weblink.jsp',
        'custId=XXXXX&passWord=YYYYY'
    )
    ->ignoreSSL()
    ->setCookieJar($cookie_file_path)
    ->retrieveHeader()
    ->setManualOption(CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.google.com")
    ->splode(); // executes the request
// you can get to the returned value with $loginAttempt->responseRaw,
// or a host of other options, see __get()

$loggedInPage = httpRequest::get('https://kinray.com/weblink2/search/categories.do?scrollType=&code=&alwaysCustomerNumber=023987')
    ->ignoreSSL()
    ->setCookieJar($cookie_file_path)
    ->splode();

    you can easily get to the response body by accessing the body property ($loggedInPage->body, for example) from there. Let me know if this works for you.
