Send a porm

Hi,

I can not udestand ho wto use the class. There are so many functions..

In sgort I want to open a given webpage with a form in it. There are some hidden fields. I want to grab their values, pupulate the others and send the form (POST METHOD).

What I have to do?

Is it possible to hire you to write me an exmple? I want to open a webapge wih a form, save cookies if there are any, populate the necessary data and post the form just the standard webbrowser does it.

You need to set the PostValues to an array with all form values. Take a look at the test_http_post.php example script.

To grab the initial values of hidden form fields, you need to grab the form page possibly with a simple GET request. Then you use regular expression functions like preg_match to extract the values of the fields.

GetRequestArguments + Open + SendRequest + ReadReplyHeaders + ReadReplyBody --> then parse the body to get the form variables or there is a simple (better) way?

Yes, that is the way to do it as you need.

What about GetRequest and OpenRequest? When they are necessary?

There are no such functions in this class. You may be confusing with something else.

Yes. They are from yahoo example...

Could you help me how to add Host header? I try to access a website via transparent proxy and the following error appears:

While the Host header is generally optional for HTTP, it is required for CoDeeN. Furthermore, numerical hostnames are not allowed. Please add this header and try again.

Thank you

The Host: header is generated by the class from the domain you used in the request URL. If you used an IP address there is no way it can figure the real host name. Just use a request URL that uses the real host name as domain.
