Writing a script which submits forms on another site

XML, Perl, Python, and other languages can be discussed here, even if it isn't PHP (We might forgive you).

Writing a script which submits forms on another site

Post by grantbachman »

Hi guys, this is my first post and I came here because I'm not really sure where to start with this project, or if it can be done with just php. I'm a college student and I want to build a website where students can give me their username and passwords to our school's website, and the script I write will do the following: it submits the form to log in to the school's network(it uses kerberos authentication if that helps at all), changes the address to go to a different part of the site, marks a checkbox and clicks continue, resubmits the password, then enters a few numerical values(course codes) into another form and hits submit. Then based on the text on the site (which tells the user if the class is full or not), it goes through the process again until successful.
Basically the script goes through the process of signing students up for their classes automatically. I truly don't plan on doing anything malicious here, I just figure I can make some money by charging students to virtually guarantee they can get a spot in a class which is full (students are always dropping and picking up classes, so the script checks if it's full, then signs up the student if it's not full anymore). Is there anyway to do this with php or any other language? Thanks guys.

If there will not be any authorization problem then we can submit the form to another website also.
