[need help] PM posting Curl

[bug14]

Since the curl Alex showed me worked perfectly with my fake Gaia editing program. I decided to play around with curl and try to make something that actually isn't a scam for a change. I want to make a webpage that will post PMs on Gaia. Now before I go setting up the array of names and a timer to post a new PM every 30 seconds (that is the max amount of time allowed between PMs on Gaia, last time I checked), I want to see if it's even possible first. This is the script I set up in a file called pmer.php:

PHP Code:

//pm from here
$postfields2 = "username=".$_POST['username']."&subject=".$_POST['subject']."&message=".$_POST['message']."&attach_sig=".$_POST['attach_sig'].'&post=&mode=post&src=&folder=inbox&id=';

$reffer2 = $data_url;
$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$pm_post_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields2);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $reffer2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookiefile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookiefile);
$result = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch); 


As you can tell by the title of my thread it's not working. Am I even going about this the right way? I don't need you to write the code for me, just point out my flaws with this and/or suggest a better way about going about it.

I'm not sure, but does it have something to do with the postdata not being encoded? o.o Like, if your input message included spaces and such, that wouldn't fly with the post data.

I'm not too good with cURL. Dx

If I echo $result it shows Gaia, logged in, and and all the forms in the "Send a New PM" page are filled in with the variables(pm to, message, subject, etc) posted from my form, ready to be sent. I just don't know about posting it actually to gaia then because I don't know how to view the source of Gaia's privmsg.php. Do I need to str_replace "privmsg.php" with "http://www.gaiaonline.com/privmsg.php" or something?

EDIT: Am I missing a post field?

There's my postdata. I would say try to leave all of it in, just to ensure no error.

It works, OMG! I LOVE YOU! IT WORKED! OH YEAH BABY! btw. How did you get that post data? My method was saving the pm page and then have it post it into a text file to see what it was. Mine was missing the bbcode things and had an extra attatch_sig thing in there. I bet that was screwing it up.

I FUCKING LOVE YOU! +Rep!

Yeah. I'm basically making this so I can PM all 72 members of the guild that I own without all the hard work of manully doing it. I want to see if they will rally behind me in the petitions forum and get me unbanned (at least a temp unban so I can hand ownership over to my crew). I will release it here (when I'm done), if I can get Alex's permission. I can't PM him because his account is messed up here and I don't have a LG account. He already let me use this code once in my Gaia Editing program, but I should probably be certain.

If Gaiaunline wasn't blocked, this would be beyond useful for sending the scam around to multiple people, making your job of getting the info on the accounts that much easier and that much faster.

Yeah, scams makes it all the more worth releasing. And there is still Kyo's domain.
