Programming :: Click 'submit' In A Remote Web Form From Bash?

May 26, 2011

I have created a simple web form which pokes a PHP script:

<form name="update" action="http://www.mysite.com/script.php" method="POST">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

I can easily surf along to the URL [URL] and click the submit button which pokes script.php and everyone's happy. Automating this in iMacros or Selenium - no problem.

I want to automate this in a bash cron on the same server - preferably as a one-liner.

I *thought* something like this might work:

Code:
wget --spider --post-data="submit=submit" http://www.mysite.com/wget.html

or

Code:
curl -d "submit=submit" http://www.mysite.com/wget.html

and many variations thereof but no luck.

Is there ANY way I can click the submit button from a Bash command line? Curl, wget, lynx - one of these simply MUST be capable of this.

I do not want to run script.php from the command line - there are loads of relative links etc.

Programming :: Form To Submit Csv File To Handle?

Jul 25, 2010

I'm new to php and need some pointers to worth while documentation 'cause I'm getting nowhere I want to make a simple html form that allows me to submit a csv file so that I can work on it.The problem seems to be that if the file is not in the root of the (web) application it won't work.The form doesn't seem to send the path with it so I am unable to (1) know where the file is, I just get the name of the file and (2) I couldn't access the file anyway as it's outside of the apache environment.Is there a way to up the file to memory? How would you do this

Ubuntu :: Cannot Post On Forum - Click On "submit" To Post A Thread The Page Will Just Say "loading..."

Sep 28, 2010

For some odd reason, I cannot post on the ubuntu forum and the LinuxMint forum. Yea, I know.... the irony... I am using Mozilla and have tried Chromium, but that did not fix my problem. When I click on "submit" to post a thread, the page will just say "loading..." and nothing happens for a really long time. Does anyone know what is up? I tried posting on one other forum that I go to often and it seems to work out fine. I haven't tried any other forums though.

Hardware :: No Form Feed After Printing Short Form?

Aug 13, 2010

We are using several printers on our Linux RH network to print customer invoices and receipts. Receipts are short forms of just 21 or 22 lines. Two of the printers (an HP LJ1300 and a Dell 5200) eject the receipt paper automatically; the other two HP (a LJ 4200 and a LJ2420) do not eject. You have to press the green button on the printer. Is there a solution to that? They are all set up with the same PCL settings.

Programming :: Form Field Validation Using PHP

Sep 10, 2009

I want to validate a web form using PHP. I spent ages confusing myself with client side scripting and realised until I worked out it is not what I want. My problem is that now I am looking at PHP and everything is mixed up in my brain. I need to point out that PHP is very new to me! This is what I already have:
1 An html page with my form on it.
2 PHP page which emails the contents of the form to me.

The above works well. For the sake of clarity, here are my pages (cut down to the essentials where appropriate): My html form:
first name surname
Email  
Home phone
Mobile
Work phone

I have read and understood your terms and conditions. My php script (regform.php)
$receiver = 'me@email'; $subject = 'New registration'; #$message = 'This is a new registration.'; $surname = $_POST['surname']; $firstname = $_POST['firstname']; $address = $_POST['address']; $email = $_POST['email']; $homeph = $_POST['homeph']; $mobileph = $_POST['mobileph']; $workph = $_POST['workph']; $time = $_POST['time']; #from here $oldaddress = $_POST['oldaddress']; $DOB = $_POST['DOB']; $elect = $_POST['elect']; $job = $_POST['job']; $salary = $_POST['salary']; $employer = $_POST['employer']; $benefit = $_POST['benefit']; $smoke = $_POST['smoke']; $claim = $_POST['claim']; $children = $_POST['children']; $children2 = $_POST['children2']; $pets = $_POST['pets']; $pets2 = $_POST['pets2']; $require = $_POST['require']; $terms = $_POST['terms']; $rooms = $_POST['rooms']; $body = "first name:$firstname
surname:$surname
DOB:$DOB
email:$email
home phone:$homeph
mobile phone:$mobileph
work phone:$workph
address:
$address
time at this address:$time
previous address:$oldaddress
electoral register:$elect
employment:$job
employer:$employer
salary:$salary
benefit claim:$benefit
future benefit:$claim
children:$children
ages:$children2
pets:$pet
pet type:$pets2
other requirements:$require
terms:$terms"; $headers = 'From: email' . "
" . 'Reply-To: email "
" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); mail($receiver, $subject, $body, $headers, "From: $firstname $surname
" . "Reply-To: $firstname $surname class="inlineimg" />;

You can see there are many more form fields than I have shown in my example html form above. What I want is that the following fields have to be filled:
1 mobileph
2 email
3 terms (checkbox)
I would like the user to be asked to fill the form in properly if any/all of the 3 fields have not been filled in. I imagine I need some php in the html page and some more in the php page. I am certainly not asking any one to do this for me but I am really confused. I have googled and copied and pasted and edited for 6 hours and I am lost. What I want is a very simple and clear example of the code needed. Sorry if I sound as if I can't search properly on Google: in this case I clearly can't!

Programming :: HTML Form Data In PHP Without Postback?

Just trying some programming with PHP. I need to write javascript code that contains some PHP code. The page extension is .php. I need to get the values from the HTML form text boxes in PHP variables without the click of submit button. I know there are these $_REQUEST, $_POST and $_GET functions that can do this.

Ubuntu Security :: Remote Desktop Allow Button Auto Click?

Oct 14, 2010

I have a home LAN server with Ubuntu Desktop edition 10.10 and I'm having a problem with remote desktop application. For now I have a monitor on that machine, but in the future it's gonna be only the box, without any periferal devices. When I try to log in via UltraVNC from Windows XP, on Ubuntu server a little window pops up, asking me to allow or refuse this "invader", so I click Allow and I really have full control on that machine. However, when I dont have any devices I wouldnt be able to click this Allow button, but will have to have full control. So, my question is how to autoclick this Allow button? Or when I try to log in the ubuntu machine, it would automatically give me full control?

Programming :: Save Input From An Online Form To A File/database?

Jan 27, 2010

Browsing some websites I've found a code for online form where a user provides name, number, etc. Everything is created in html/javascript. I'm just wondering whether it's possible to collect this input and present it in a database form so that I'd be able to see who's provided data and all the details they entered.Actually, it doesn't have to be a proper database (it would probably require php/mysql). It could be a weekly/monthly report (a text file) of people who provided details. The website is hosted by a third party company.This is an html bit:

Code:
<body id="main_body" >
<img id="top" src="top.png" alt="">

Programming :: HTML Redirect With Form Being Submited OnLoad - Link Integrated With Flash

Feb 16, 2010

Got site hosted, up and running now trying to work out the website particulars.

Right here it goes, not sure if it is at all possible but any input would be much appreciated.

Here's the deal. Developing an easy straight forward online store integrated with EBSWorldpay . Not looking for any fancy stuff. What i would like to do is put a flash url link that would direct a user to a html file that contains a hidden form and it would submit it on load redirecting a user straight to EBSwordpay checkout. Simple HTML Redirect with submited form.

Check the link here it has the source code of the form that is required.: [url]

Trying to use Example 0.1 ( So instead of having a separate page with a "BUY" for the form to be submitted, I would like to get the form posted straight away which would in turn load the payment site. Would create a seperate html file for each item and have redirects on the main website linking to those onLoad submit forms.

Programming :: Bash Ctrl+c Tarp And Bash Read With Timeout?

Jan 24, 2010

simple bash code:

trap "echo 'you got me'" SIGINT SIGTERM # to trap ctrl+c
echo "Press ctrl+c during 5 sec loop"
for ((i=0;i<5;i++)); do

[Code]...

How come code behaves normally and stops when ctrl+c signal is caught and resumes, but after I use at least one timeout read in the code it looks like, if signal is caught again it doesn't pause the execution but skips the loop. If you remove -t (timeout) option from the read, both loops look the same!
