I dont know where the action page is because the only thing there is a '?'.
[PHP]
<"form action="?" method="POST">
[/php]
Is anyone familiar with this type of thing?
In the attempt to find where the variables are posted to, i have looked in other pages downloaded with the software for a list of the variables. No Luck, i only found one page that makes them into an array:
PHP:
$res = array();
$res['database'] =
array('title' => INSTALL_CAT_DB,
'description' => INSTALL_CAT_DB_DESC,
'items' => array(array('var' => 'dbType',
'title' => INSTALL_DBTYPE,
'description' => INSTALL_DBTYPE_DESC,
'type' => 'list',
'default' => 'mysql',
'flags' => array('nosave', 'simpleInstall', 'probeDefault')),
array('var' => 'dbHost',
'title' => INSTALL_DBHOST,
'description' => INSTALL_DBHOST_DESC,
'type' => 'string',
'default' => 'localhost',
'flags' => array('nosave', 'simpleInstall')),
array('var' => 'dbUser',
'title' => INSTALL_DBUSER,
'description' => INSTALL_DBUSER_DESC,
'type' => 'string',
'default' => 'mem',
'flags' => array('nosave', 'simpleInstall')),
array('var' => 'dbPass',
'title' => INSTALL_DBPASS,
'description' => INSTALL_DBPASS_DESC,
'type' => 'protected',
'default' => '',
'flags' => array('nosave', 'hideValue', 'simpleInstall')),

any idea where they variables [dbType, dbName etc] are posted to so i can set the CURLOPT_URL?
Is it possible that the form is bieng posted to a function? if so how can i set my CURLOPT_URL to ost to a function?
I would think this would solve my puzzle, it does not.
The puzzle: try to submit info to a form using cURL.
The puzzle variables:
1. the url of the form: www.mysite.com/userz/mel/sy_admin.php?sy[step]=2b
2. actual code of the page:
<?php
require_once 'sy/sy_admin.php';
?>note: sy/sy_admin.php is in my home directory. /home/sy/sy_admin.php
3. critical code of sy/sy_admin.php : [i think, may not be important]
[code]
<?php
include('sy_config.inc.php');
if (IS_installed === false) {
require_once(S9Y_INCLUDE_PATH . 'include/functions_installer.inc.php');
require_once S9Y_INCLUDE_PATH . 'include/functions_config.inc.php';
$css_file = 'sy.css.php?sy[css_mode]=sy_admin.css';
} else {
$css_file = sy_rewriteURL('sy_admin.css');
}
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo sy_ADMIN_SUITE;?></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo LANG_CHARSET;?>" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $css_file;?>" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function spawn() {
if (self.Spawnextended) {
Spawnextended();
}
if (self.Spawnbody) {
Spawnbody();
}
if (self.Spawnnugget) {
Spawnnugget();
}
}
function SetCookie(name, value) {
var today = new Date();
var expire = new Date();
expire.setTime(today.getTime() + (60*60*24*30));
document.cookie = 'sy[' + name + ']='+escape(value) + ';expires=' + expire.toGMTString();
}
</script>
</head>
<body id="sy_admin_page" onload="spawn()">
<?php
if (!isset($sy['syPath']) ¦¦ IS_installed === false ¦¦ IS_up2date === false ) {
if (IS_installed === false) {
$file = 'include/admin/installer.inc.php';
} elseif ( IS_up2date === false ) {
$file = 'include/admin/upgrader.inc.php';
} else {
$file = ''; // For register_global, safety
}
?>
?>
Now one of the functions in installer.inc.php is to print the form template.
This may all be irrelevant in what i am trying to do, if so please let me know.
My current curl attempt is:

I notice that the initial form page is: [mysite.com...]
and after filling out the form the normal way
