Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to cURL and I'm trying to get my frist script to work. I
need to extract data from a site which posts to another ASP page, which
then displays it's results on a 3rd asp page. I'm able to get this to
work correctly on my local computer, however, I'm running into
difficulties on my web host. Original problem on my web host was
"Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION
cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in..." To
prevent this, I chose to use a function found on one of the forums (see
script below). Now I don't get this error anymore, however the page
doesn't seem to redirect correctly. Here are the details, any info would
be appreciated. Local Host:
-----------
safe_mode: off
open_basedir: not set
Web Host Info:
---------------
PHP v 5.2.5
safe_mode: off
open_basedir:
/tmp:/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/<mydomain>.com/httpdocs:/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/<mydomain>.com/logs:/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/<mydomain>.com/storage:/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/<mydomain>.com/web_users:/usr/local/4admin/apache/lib/php:/usr/local/4admin/apache/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/4admin/phpstuff
