is this php script wriiten correctly? fsockopen error message:

[verbatim1]

I have a form on my website that creates cookies in the header when the page loads. I am attempting to mimic a form post.

I get the following 2 errors when tring to simulate the post:

Warning: fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /var/

http://www/html/postit2.php

on line 60

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to http::80 in /var/

http://www/html/postit2.php

on line 60
Error 0 Success

The initial code on my page with the data I want to automatically send to my form is

include("postit2.php");

require_once "HTTP/Request.php";

$req =& new HTTP_Request(" [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.abc.com/page.php");[/URL]


$data["dbType"] = "mysql";
  $data["dbHost"] = "localhost";
  $data["dbUser"] = "xxx";
  $data["dbPass"] = "letmein";
  $data["dbName"] = "me";

  $result = post_it2($data, " [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.abc.com/page.php");[/URL]

  if (isset($result["errno"])) { 
    $errno = $result["errno"]; 
    $errstr = $result["errstr"]; 
    echo "<B>Error $errno</B> $errstr"; 
    exit; 
  } else { 

    for($i=0;$i< count($result); $i++) echo $result[$i]; 

  } 

?>

the php file with the function info that should submit the form is:

<?php

function post_it2($data, $URL) {

//  Strip http:// from the URL if present
    $URL = ereg_replace("^[URL unfurl="true"]http://",[/URL] "", $URL);

//  Separate into Host and URI
    $Host = substr($URL, 0, strpos($URL, "/"));
    $URI = strstr($URL, "/");

//  Form up the request body
    $ReqBody = "";
    while (list($key, $val) = each($data)) {
      if ($ReqBody) $ReqBody.= "&";
      $ReqBody.= $key."=".urlencode($val);
    }
    $ContentLength = strlen($ReqBody);

//  Generate the request header
    $ReqHeader =
      "POST $URI HTTP/1.0\n".
      "Host: $Host\n".
      "User-Agent: PostIt\n".
      "Content-Type: application/x-[URL unfurl="true"]www-form-urlencoded\n".[/URL]
      "Content-Length: $ContentLength\n\n".
      "$ReqBody\n";

//     echo $ReqHeader;


//  Open the connection to the host
    $socket = fsockopen($Host, 80, &$errno, &$errstr);
    if (!$socket) {
      $Result["errno"] = $errno;
      $Result["errstr"] = $errstr;
      return $Result;
    }
    $idx = 0;
    fputs($socket, $ReqHeader);
    while (!feof($socket) && $Result[$idx-1] != "0\r\n") {
    if (substr($Result[$idx-1], 0, 2) == "0\r\n") echo "The End:".strlen($Result[$idx-1]);
      $Result[$idx++] = fgets($socket, 128);
    }
    return $Result;
  }
?>

why do I get the two errors above? Is it because I am suppose to send the cookies back in the form somehow?

The name of the cookie is PHPSESSID I believe

I have read an article on zend dot com about mimicking submission posts and am still lost. Any help given would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/mimocsumissions.php?out=dynamicwebpages [/url]

The page with the form on it sets a cookie every time you go to the page. I believe this cookie is posted with the form when sent the normal way.

Since i am trying to simulate the form post i must figure out how to send the cookie through my script.

by going to

http://www.web-sniffer.net

i get the following results:

which basically just tells the the value of the cookie upon connecting to the page.
Aso far the script is designed to forward variables to the form and submit the form.

how do i submit the cookie value also?

 

[sleipnir214]

A "Set-Cookie" comes from the server and sets the cookie:

Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=698df9499042a210dfe5bfb4e7c1d09c; path=/


A "Cookie" header is returned by the browser and reports the value of the cookie to the server:

Cookie: PHPSESSID=698df9499042a210dfe5bfb4e7c1d09c;

that being th case, i believe 'function addCookie' would be my best bet.

    function addCookie($name, $value)
    {
        $cookies = isset($this->_requestHeaders['Cookie']) ? $this->_requestHeaders['Cookie']. '; ' : '';
        $this->addHeader('Cookie', $cookies . $name . '=' . $value);
    }

$name will always be PHPSESSID but how do i get the cookie that is set everytime the page is loaded as the $value

I'd read the documentation on whatever class you're using.
