Hi I'm a relatively new to curl/libcurl (just started 2 days ago) and I am
having a problem with cookies in PHP. I can successfully execute my commands
on the command line but when i use COOKIE_JAR and COOKIE_FILE my 'entry
expires'. Here is the technical data that might help

PHP File: (Note: this is not 100% finished but i wanted to get the curl
connections done before i moved on. Therefore that fwrites() at the end will
eventually be moved but right now they serve for debugging)

web server libcurl/curl version: libcurl/7.12.0 OpenSSL/0.9.6 zlib/1.1.4
web server OS: linux
web server php version: 4.3.10

my comp curl version: curl 7.12.3 <i386-pc-win32> libcurl/7.12.3 zlib/1.2.1
my comp os: win XP home edition sp2
no php/apache/etc installed on home comp

$ch = curl_init();
$postData = "login=manchild&pwd=foobar&validation=&x=0&y=0&=enter";
$refererAddress = "http://blitz.the-reincarnation.com/perl/login.pl";
$blitzLogin2Address = "http://blitz.the-reincarnation.com/perl/login2.pl";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "$blitzLogin2Address");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "$blitzCookie");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "$blitzCookie");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "$refererAddress");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$postData");

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
unset($ch);

/*

/*

*/

$ch = curl_init();
$refererAddress = "http://blitz.the-reincarnation.com/cgi-bin/rank.cgi";
$blitzCompleteRankListAddress =
"http://blitz.the-reincarnation.com/cgi-bin/rank.cgi?mode=all";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "$blitzCompleteRankListAddress");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "$blitzCookie");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "$refererAddress");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$completeBlitzRankList = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
unset($ch);

/*
##########################################
##### END Move to complete rank list #####
##########################################
*/

/*
#######################################

#######################################
*/

$ch = curl_init();
$refererAddress
="http://blitz.the-reincarnation.com/cgi-bin/guildofterra.cgi";
$blitzGuildRankAddress =
"http://blitz.the-reincarnation.com/cgi-bin/guildrank.cgi";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "$blitzGuildRankAddress");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "$blitzCookie");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "refererAddress");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$blitzGuildRankList = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
unset($ch);

/*
#######################################
##### END Move to guild rank list #####
#######################################
*/

$completeBlitzRankListFile = 'completeBlitzRankListFile.txt';
$fp = fopen($completeBlitzRankListFile, "a");
fwrite($fp, "$completeBlitzRankList");
fclose($fp);

$blitzGuildRankListFile = 'completeGuildRankListFile.txt';
$fpp = fopen($blitzGuildRankListFile, "a");
fwrite($fpp, "$blitzGuildRankList");
fclose($fpp);

Okay that is the PHP File and I explain what I have tried and what didnt
work. I tried using a absolute path in COOKIE_JAR and COOKIE_FILE. I have
tried using a relative path in both. Also I have uploaded a verified cookie
that worked while I used curl through the command line. Then after searching
a bit on google i tried just storing the cookies in a variable. All failed.
Actually the script DOES login to the site but upon moving to a new page it
says "Your Entry Has Expired" which means something went wrong :)

Here is some data from liveHTTPheaders in firefox.

Alright that is all of the information that i think you will need. I made
sure i set all files that were in my folder to chmod 777 so there wouldnt be
conflicts with permissions. I cant think of anything that i am doing wrong.

thanks for the help,
Josh
