    <p>I am having problem logging in to Yahoo with the PHP code I have written. The code was working earlier, but for some reason it stopped working. It always shows Yahoo login page with my username at the top like, <code>Hi Sudhir</code> at the header as if I'm logged in already, along with my yahoo username, but displays password field and Login button again saying <code>Please Verify your password</code>. </p> <p>Though I tried to resend the request once more taking the new form action <code>https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?</code>, but it keeps on displaying the same page. Following is my complete Yahoo login code.</p> <p>Please suggest what am I doing wrong or am I missing something?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $yahooCalUrl = "http://calendar.yahoo.com"; $ch = curl_init($yahooCalUrl); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "my_cookies_new.txt"); //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "my_cookies_new.txt"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); $resCalUrl = curl_exec($ch); //echo $resCalUrl; $loginUrl = "https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?"; //get the hidden values $searchStr = "/name=\".u\" value=\"(.*?)\"/"; preg_match($searchStr, $resCalUrl, $matches); $u = $matches[1]; $searchStr1 = "/name=\".challenge\" value=\"(.*?)\"/"; preg_match($searchStr1, $resCalUrl, $matches1); $challenge = $matches1[1]; $searchStr2 = "/name=\".pd\" value=\"(.*?)\"/"; preg_match($searchStr2, $resCalUrl, $matches2); $pd = $matches2[1]; $username = "my_yahoo_username"; $password = "my_yahoo_password"; //$mdPassword = md5($password); //$finalPass = $mdPassword . $challenge; //$hash = md5($finalPass); //$finalHash = urlencode($hash); $done = urlencode("http://calendar.yahoo.com"); $postFields = ".tries=1&amp;.src=fpctx&amp;.md5=&amp;.hash=&amp;.js=&amp;.last=&amp;promo=&amp;.intl=us&amp;.bypass=&amp;.partner=&amp;.u=".$u."&amp;.v=0&amp;.challenge=".$challenge."&amp;.yplus=&amp;.emailCode=&amp;pkg=&amp;stepid=&amp;.ev=&amp;hasMsgr=0&amp;.chkP=Y&amp;.done=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2F&amp;.pd=fpctx_ver%3D0%26c%3D%26ivt%3D%26sg%3D&amp;pad=3&amp;aad=3&amp;login=".$username."&amp;passwd=".$password."&amp;.save=&amp;passwd_raw="; //$postFields = ".tries=1&amp;.src=&amp;.md5=&amp;.hash=&amp;.js=&amp;.last=&amp;promo=&amp;.intl=us&amp;.bypass=&amp;.partner=&amp;.u=".$u."&amp;.v=0&amp;.challenge=".$challenge."&amp;.yplus=&amp;.emailCode=&amp;pkg=&amp;stepid=&amp;.ev=&amp;hasMsgr=1&amp;.chkP=Y&amp;.pd=".$pd."&amp;pad=6&amp;aad=6&amp;.persistent=&amp;.save=1&amp;login=".$username."&amp;passwd=".$password."&amp;.done=".$done; curl_setopt($ch, curlOPT_USERAGENT, $agent); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $loginUrl); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $loginUrl); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFields); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "my_cookies_new.txt"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "my_cookies_new.txt"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); $finalLoggedIn = curl_exec($ch); echo $finalLoggedIn; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Though I tried using the password hash, i.e. combining the dynamic channel value of Yahoo with my password, but it didn't work out that way either.</p>

    1. COPerhaps a dumb question, but can you still login the "normal" way? Also, check what headers are being sent when you logon. Perhaps something has changed in their form!

    3. COPlease check if you have the same PHP.ini settings for both live and local. Please make sure you're also displaying all errors `ini_set('display_errors', 'on'); error_reporting(E_ALL);`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
