cURL PHP: Connecting to Invoicing System

I am attempting to use cURL to connect to a page like this: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/asp/home.asp?studioid=851 with the following code;

<?php

$curl_handle=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,'https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/asp/home.asp?studioid=851');
//curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);

curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookies.txt');

//curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

//curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
//curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//curl_setopt ($curl_handle,CURLOPT_POST, 1);

$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);

if (empty($buffer))
{
    print "Sorry, The booking system appears to be unavailable at this time.<p>";
}
else
{
    print $buffer;
}
?>

I've fiddled the settings and the only three responses I get are;

1. Nothing is loaded and the error message is called
2. A redirect to /asp/home... locally
3. Returns '1' and th开发者_如何学Pythonat's all

Thanks for your time!

1. Nothing is loaded: Your code works fine, but they're ignoring you. It's possibly some anti-hammering functionality on their end. You can always change your code to sleep for a while and retry a few times.

2. A redirect to /asp/home... locally: Your code is working, but returns javascript back from their page which is executed by your browser and redirects you to a page that doesn't exist. To see this code without it running do:

print htmlspecialchars($buffer);

3. Returns '1' and that's all: That happens if you don't use

curl_setopt($client, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

Uncomment it.

Unfortunately even then you wont be able to read this particular site as is, because it's drawn by javascript, which cURL can't run.

Perhaps the cookies you are using are invalid (ie, the session has expired). If you load that page without cookies, you get a POST form. Perhaps you should send that POST data first, get the cookies and then use those cookies for the rest of the session.

Also, you need to set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to 1 in order to use $buffer like that. If not, cURL will output the page it gets, which is probably explains #2.
