<?php
$user = "";
$password = "";
$url = "mysite/index.php?action=login2";
$cookie="cookie.txt";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "&user=$user&passwrd=$password&cookielength=-1&submit=Login");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_error($ch)) {
echo curl_error($ch);
}
echo $result;
?>
The error i get is:
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.
This is what the source of my logon page is
Quote<form id="guest_form" action="mysite/index.php?action=login2" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8" onsubmit="hashLoginPassword(this, 'dd50ffa8c8614937a66c3e237f74f216');">

What SMF 2.0 version are you running?
And what are you trying to do? Do you need to login via curl to get it? Or can you just script the functions with SMF
smf 2.0.14
I would prefer to do it through php curl just because i am most familiar with that and i use it to manage the regular side of my website.
You probably can but if you want your site/script as fast as possible I would use the native SMF functions/calls. Any http request you make causes slowdowns.
