Submit problem. With POST data in URL opening a thread

append delete Jos

I need to create a thread by an URL from another script, or form.
So if i call "http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php?path=MyForum/" and specify f.ex. "$myvars = 'title=TITEL&text=TEKST BESKRIVELSEN&username=ROLO&password=ROLO';" with the help of *curl*, i get the form prefilled with exactly what i whant.

My problem is *how do i submit the data ?*
Its probably very simple but i seem not to be able to do it. Someone has the solution or can point me at the correct direction?

I intend to use this for commenting on blog entry's. I could use hashover or something similar but nononsense is a nicer solution and fits my needs.

You want to enable submitting through `cURL`? What is wrong with using `--data` [1] to emulate submitting a web form?

I allready got *curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);*

I set params for title, text, username, password . Am i missing one ?
I can see that i get all the info into the form. The broblem is that it does not get submitted.

Tryed $ curl --data 'title=TITEL&text=TEKST BESKRIVELSEN&username=ROLO&password=ROLO' http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php?path=Andre%20fora/

and got exactly same behaviour as with PHP; as expected.
There must be something with the way a form is submitted with nononsense forum.

I'll try again the comming days and will post the solution.

I don’t see any reason why you would not be able to post through cURL. All I can think of is that you are running into the anti-spam-bot traps. And as @Kroc has chosen to be vague about those, I am not going to document them here either. Look at the code, is the best I can say.

I did forget to specify the "correct" email adress. But it's not it. I'm only aware of the fake email as a honeypot. I've looked trough the code and did not find other traps.

I don’t know what to tell you if I am to stay vague, but the form submits more than that. Maybe look at the POST request you are sending when posting here?

There is no need to “register”, just enter the same name + password of your choice every time.
