PHP: Simulate XHR using cURL

Question

Today I\'m trying to make a cron job for some forum login to check for online stats. The login.php script accepts an ajax request with the form submitted values: user, passw

Answer 1

That array format doesn't work. Curl does not accept associative arrays. Each element must be a string in the following format:

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        "Host: www.somehost.com",
        "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1",
        "Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01",
        "Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5",
        "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate",
        "Connection: keep-alive",
        "X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest",
        "Referer: http://www.somehost.com/"
    ));
