PHP cURL Location Change
You probably need to save and transmit cookies. This can be done in PHP cURL like this:
$ch = curl_init();// set your regular optionscurl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://somedomain.com/login.php');curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('user'=>'foo', 'pass'=>'bar'));// set where cookies are savedcurl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies.txt');// set where cookies are retrieved from when sent to the servercurl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookies.txt');// execute logincurl_exec($ch);// do another requestcurl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://somedomain.com/restricted_page.php');curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1);curl_exec($ch);
You must know how login pages (usually) work. When you log into a site the site will send you a session cookie that you will send again to the website everytime you request a new page. So if you want to emulate the login you must store cookies returned by the login and then include them in every other request to the site.
