cURL error

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

So here is my code... I got it off of here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcgQUsorF_8
Because I'm completely new to cURL, just wanna get a page that requires a login... I wrote everything word for word and got my own values for the two functions and get this error...

"Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/a5623324/public_html/cURL/curlML.php on line 24"

here's all my code except for the login scripts (obvious reasons)
Code: <?
//LOGIN INFORMATION WAS DELETED FROM HERE

function curl_login($url,$data,$proxy,$proxystatus){
$fp = fopen("cookie.txt", "w");
fclose($fp);
$login = curl_init();
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 40);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
if ($proxystatus == 'on') {
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
}
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($login, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
ob_start(); // prevent any output
return curl_exec ($login); // execute the curl command
ob_end_clean(); // stop preventing output
curl_close ($login);
unset($login);
}

function curl_grab_page($site,$proxy,$proxystatus){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
if ($proxystatus == 'on') {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $site);
ob_start(); // prevent any output
return curl_exec ($ch); // execute the curl command
ob_end_clean(); // stop preventing output
curl_close ($ch);
}

?>
