http://my2.php.net/curl
http://curl.haxx.se/

i read the content of both sites about cURL but I'm still quite confused about how it works. So i decide to create a script but it is related to the site http://www.neopets.com

Now i'm asking whether can i post the script for you guys to check it out and maybe repair for me.

Go for it. Shocked

As long as it's legal software for a legal purpose, I mean.

i decide not to post the code but i have a question to ask

if i have a code like this

Code:
<form action='spin2.phtml' method='get'>
<input type='submit' value='Spin Spin Spin!!'>
</form>


how do i have a curl action to press the submit button or some other action

n does frihost support curl?

When the method is GET (as it is in your example), just supply the form fields in the URL
Code:
// ...
curl_setopt($channel, CURLOPT_URL, HTTP_BASE . 'spin2.html?submit=Spin%20Spin%20Spin%21%21');
// ...
Notice that in this code I've used HTTP_BASE which is a constant you should define (maybe 'http://www.neopets.com/'?); also the URL parameters should be encoded ("Spin Spin Spin!!" encoded is "Spin+Spin+Spin!!").

Don't forget the manual:
http://php.net/curl
http://php.net/curl_setopt
http://php.net/rawurlencode

Shorthand coding Smile
Just replace it with the URL you want to use for cURL.

The idea behind the HTTP_BASE is this
Code:
<?php
define('HTTP_BASE', 'http://www.neopets.com/');
// ...
curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_URL, HTTP_BASE . 'spin2.html');
// ...
curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_URL, HTTP_BASE . 'spin2.html?submit=Spin+Spin+Spin!!');
// ...
curl_setopt($ch3, CURLOPT_URL, HTTP_BASE . 'logout.html');
// ...
?>


and when "neopets.com" moves domains to "BRANDNEWneopetsV2.com" you just have to change 1 line in your code.
