Question

i have been trying to get the source of a page in php using get_file_contents and curl unfortunately both methods are not working for me. I am trying to use any method that will get the source of this page:

http://www6.cbox.ws/box/?boxid=524970&boxtag=7xpsk7&sec=form

This is a link for a chat box service I own and currently pay for. My goal is to create an announcement script and run a cron job that will send messages to my chat every hour. In order to do that I need to get the input variables for the form and one of them is key as seen here:

<input type="hidden" name="key" value="c126b4f134cb2c1184c1585fdfa4d1b0013a12f4"> 

Here is my problem. When using the methods I stated above it returns this:

<input type="hidden" name="key" value=""> 

Key having no value. So I need a method that will get me the key so that I can send message to the chat. Any help would be great appreciated 😀

Update – Looking for closely at the source code i saw this

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.cbox.ws/box/jsc.php?v=660"></script>

And there was mention of key so maybe its being generated by javascript? not sure exactly.

if (substr($site,0,7)!="http://")
    $site="http://".$site;

$site = str_replace(" ","%20",$site);

$file = fopen($site, "r") or exit("Unable to open file!");

while(!feof($file))
{
  $temp = $temp.fgets($file);
}

fclose($file);
