API (query action) ( mediawiki - 1.12 )

Hi, I'm trying to get the content of an article through API ( PHP code ) .

I logged through POST request, but when I tried to do the query action I saw the following message :

"unknown_action: Unrecognised value for parameter 'action'"

I don't kinow if I am doing anything wrong.

This is my code :

<?php
$url = "http://localhost/wiki/api.php";
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

$data = array('action' => 'login', 'lgname' => 'myuser', 'lgpassword' => 'mypassword');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);

$result= curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

$url = "http://localhost/wiki/api.php";
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

$data = array('action' => 'query', 'prop' => 'revisions', 'meta' => 'siteinfo' , 'titles' => 'Main Page' , 'rvprop' => 'user|comment|content';

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);

$result= curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
print $result;

?>

anybody knows what I am doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

Javier Bueno.

The wiki you're querying doesn't allow anonymous users to read, you
need to log in for that. In MW 1.12, the API simply pretends
action=query doesn't exist in that case. Later versions of MW give a
clearer error message.
