    copied!<p>I am trying to figure out how to login to the website <a href="https://login.alibaba.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://login.alibaba.com</a> using PHP and CURL. I am using the code below but it does not seem to be working. How would you recommend I login to this site automatically?</p> <p>My current code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;? $cookie = "cookie.txt"; // set global curl options $curloptions = array( CURLOPT_USERAGENT =&gt; 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6', CURLOPT_TIMEOUT =&gt; 60, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR =&gt; $cookie, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE =&gt; $cookie, CURLOPT_REFERER =&gt; 'http://www.alibaba.com' ); // set userinfo $username = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; $password = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'; // clear cookie.txt (fresh session) $handle = fopen($cookie, 'w'); fclose($handle); // make a dummy request to generate a session curl_http_request('https://login.alibaba.com', $curloptions); // login curl_http_request('https://login.alibaba.com', array( CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =&gt; 'xloginPassport=' . $username . '&amp;xloginPassword=' . $password . '&amp;noCsrfToken=&amp;xloginCheckToken=&amp;rememberme=&amp;runatm=', CURLOPT_POST =&gt; TRUE ), $curloptions ); //example request echo curl_http_request('https://login.alibaba.com', array( CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION =&gt; TRUE, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =&gt; TRUE ), $curloptions ); function curl_http_request ($url, $moreoptions = array(), $options = array()) { foreach ($moreoptions as $k =&gt; $v) $options[$k] = $v; $handle = curl_init($url); curl_setopt_array($handle, $options); ob_start(); $buffer = curl_exec($handle); ob_end_clean(); curl_close($handle); return $buffer; } ?&gt; </code></pre>
