  1. POLogging In To Joomla 1.5 Using External Form (not within joomla folder, but on same server)
    text
    copied!<p>I currently have a Joomla 1.5 installation, as well as another website. They both reside on the same web server. They are in different folders within the wwwroot directory, however. I would like to place a login form within the non-joomla website, which will log the user in to Joomla. I have already tried copying and pasting the Joomla login form code into a page on the non-joomla site, and everything works fine up until the secret form value is not correct. Any help is greatly appreciated.</p> <p>EDIT: Here is the code-</p> <p>Contact form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form id="login" name="login" method="post" action="login.php"&gt; &lt;label&gt; &lt;input name="username" type="text" id="username" value="username" /&gt; &lt;/label&gt; &lt;label&gt; &lt;input name="password" type="password" id="password" value="password" /&gt; &lt;/label&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;label&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/label&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Login Script:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $uname = $_POST['username']; $upswd = $_POST['password']; $url = "http://www.mywebsite.com/joomla_site/index.php"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, './cookie.txt'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, './cookie.txt'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE ); $ret = curl_exec($ch); if (!preg_match('/name="([a-zA-z0-9]{32})"/', $ret, $spoof)) { preg_match("/name='([a-zA-z0-9]{32})'/", $ret, $spoof); } // POST fields $postfields = array(); $postfields['username'] = urlencode($uname); $postfields['passwd'] = urlencode($upswd); $postfields['lang'] = ''; $postfields['option'] = 'com_login'; $postfields['task'] = 'login'; $postfields[$spoof[1]] = '1'; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields); $ret = curl_exec($ch); ?&gt; </code></pre>
