I was struggling to find CURL solution to an automatic login (silent login), specifically for a dynamic login form. e.g. http://autologin.com/admin.php?action=login. Seems to be a struggle with CURL, and so tried a javascript based solution instead. Below is a kinda a “dirty” solution I guess, though easily implemented for https URL’s also, which will make it more secure. And more importantly – it works.
<html>
<head>
<script LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
function submit()
{
var usernameField = returnObjById(‘user_name’);
var passwordField = returnObjById(‘user_password’);
usernameField.value = ‘test’;
passwordField.value = ‘test’;
document.forms.frmLogin.submit();
}
function returnObjById( id )
{
if (document.getElementById)
var returnVar = document.getElementById(id);
else if (document.all)
var returnVar = document.all[id];
else if (document.layers)
var returnVar = document.layers[id];
return returnVar;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad=”submit();”>
<form action=”http://autologin.com/admin.php?action=login” method=”post” id=”frmLogin” name=”frmLogin”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”login_user” value=”1″ />
<p>
<label><?php echo $AB_LANG_ADMIN['Username']; ?>:</label>
<input type=”text” name=”user_name” id=”user_name” />
</p>
<p>
<label><?php echo $AB_LANG_ADMIN['Password']; ?>:</label>
<input type=”user_password” name=”user_password” id=”user_password” />
</p>
<p>
<label> </label>
<input type=”submit” name=”login” value=”login” />
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
