[PHP] Login to vBulletin

[skinner]

Hi,

I'm trying to login with my php page to 1 forum vbulletin 4.2.

I use that code:

function vBulletinLogin($user, $pass) { 

    $md5Pass = md5($pass); 
    $data = "?do=login&url=%2Findex.php&securitytoken=guest&vb_login_md5password=$md5Pass&vb_login_md5password_utf=$md5Pass&vb_login_username=$user&cookieuser=1"; 

    $ch = curl_init(); 

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.domain.com/forums/login.php"); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.domain.comt/forums/index.php');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, '40'); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "temp/codecall_$user.txt"); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "temp/codecall_$user.txt"); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
    $store = curl_exec ($ch); 
    curl_close($ch); 
    //echo $store;

    $pos = strpos($store, "Thank you for Logging in"); 
    if ($pos === FALSE) { 
      return 0; 
    } else { 
      return 1; 
    } 

  } 

  if (vBulletinLogin("username","password")) { 
    echo "Logged In"; 
  } else { 

    echo "Failed to Login check User / Pass"; 
  }

But it won't work. What do I write wrong?

Thanks

Is this a file out of the vbulletin directory or in it?

Is this your own code?
What I do when faceing such task is to go to the site, and do a login while logging everything sent and received by the browser with Firebug or Chrome's developer tools, then I recreate that stuff with curl.

You get any error if you output the $store variable?

 

[skinner]

If I print $store I don't have error but only the main page of the forum without sign into it..

If you send the forum url i can check

if that forum host enable php curl then you can't login
the php curl must be disable then you can use your curl script

Wrong.

hi, i just found this post and your code is interesting as i am trying to do something similar. My guess is that its not working because you don't provide salted password. VB stores password in md5 with salt.

My problem was that forum was not in english so I had to change some variables..

maybe missing the GET do=login?

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.domain.com/forums/login.php?do=login");
