Client wants to click a link and auto login to Wordpress backend admin section.
I tried using fsockopen, code below. Didn't work.
$post_data['user_login'] = 'admin';
$post_data['user_pass'] = 'password';
$post_data['wp-submit'] = 'Log In';
$post_data['redirect_to'] = 'http://example.com/wp-admin/';
//traverse array and prepare data for posting (key1=value1)
foreach ( $post_data as $key => $value) {
$post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
}
//create the final string to be posted using implode()
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
//we also need to add a question mark at the beginning of the string
$post_string = '?' . $post_string;
$data_length = strlen($post_string);
$connection = fsockopen('www.example.com', 80);
fputs($connection, "POST /wp-login.php HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($connection, "Host: www.example.com \r\n");
fputs($connection, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
fputs($connection, "Content-Length: $data_length\r\n");
fputs($connection, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
fputs($connection, $post_string);
fclose($connection);
also tried CURL
$ch = curl_init('http://example.com/wp-login.php');
$post_data['user_login'] = 'admin';
$post_data['user_pass'] = 'password';
$post_data['wp-submit'] = 'Log In';
$post_data['redirect_to'] = 'http://example.com/wp-admin/';
//$post_data['testcookie'] = '0';
//$post_data['rememberme'] = 'forever';
foreach ( $post_data as $key => $value) {
$post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
}
//create the final string to be posted using implode()
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
Anyone have an Idea of how to make this work?
Its a linux OS. Running php5.
I have done this before with javascript just submitting a form with all hidden inputs on page load. Client does not want javascript
