Redirect with Curl

Question

I’m trying to log in to a Curl account but it doesn’t go to the final page.

Site map:

1. form page.
2. page that receives the post (Curl is stopped here). 200 OK
3. restricted page(Curl does not arrive here). 302 Object Moved

someone knows why Curl does not access this page or go through it?

My code.

$f = fopen('cookies.txt', 'w');
$fp = fopen("cookies.txt", "w");
fclose($fp);


 $url = "";

 $postfields = array();
 $postfields[''] = '';
 $postfields[''] = ''; 
 $postfields[''] = '';
 $postfields[''] = ''; 
 $postfields[''] = '';
 $postfields[''] = ''; 
 $postfields[''] = '';
 $postfields[''] = '';

 $tmpfname = dirname(__FILE__).'/cookies.txt';

 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 120);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode(array()));
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent); 
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTREDIR, -1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, -1);
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $f);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $tmpfname );
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $tmpfname );
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url);
 $redirectURL = curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL );
 $status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
 $status_url = curl_getinfo($ch , CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "");
 $err = curl_error($ch);
 //ob_start();
 $ret = curl_exec($ch); // Get result after login page.
 $redirectedUrl = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);
 curl_close ($ch);

  echo $ret;

You need to set the CURL parameter, where it allows it to follow redirects:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

Since you wanted to limit redirects you can use this parameter:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
