Getting html source code with CURL with POST varibales

[Stormcrow]

Hey guys,

 

First post here, so feel free to flame me if im violating the rules somehow.

 

So, the issue is this: i built an ebay listing creator for a customer. it conssists of a form with several fields being posted to a page that assembles everything into a listing (text, images, radio buttons etc.). now, what i want to do is to easily allow the customer to copy the compiled source code into the clipboard (or a txt file, doesnt really matters) - in order to easily copy it into ebay. I tried it with CURL, but all i get is the source without the posted information. I must be missing something there.

 

Any help would be appreciated, if you need links or codes iv's used, ill provide.

 

Thanks in advance!

I found the solution. so posting here in case anyone else encountered the same situation. i used the following code on the preview page:

 

$ch = curl_init($sub_req_url);
$_SESSION['$encoded'] = '';
// include GET as well as POST variables; your needs may vary.
foreach($_GET as $name => $value) {
  $_SESSION['$encoded'] .= urlencode($name).'='.urlencode($value).'&';
}
foreach($_POST as $name => $value) {
  $_SESSION['$encoded'] .= urlencode($name).'='.urlencode($value).'&';
}
// chop off last ampersand
$_SESSION['$encoded'] = substr($_SESSION['$encoded'], 0, strlen($_SESSION['$encoded'])-1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,  $_SESSION['$encoded']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

 

And i used this code on the output page that shows you the acutal source code including the POSTed variables:

 

        // create curl resource 
        $ch = curl_init(); 

        // set url 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://scorpiocollections.com/ebay/preview.php"); 

        //return the transfer as a string 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,  $_SESSION['$encoded']);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

        // $output contains the output string 
        $output = curl_exec($ch); 

        // close curl resource to free up system resources 
        curl_close($ch);
