Edit Question
Title
Body
I would like to make a php script that can capture a page from a website. Think file_get_contents($url) . However, this website requires that you fill in a username/password log-in form before you can access any page. I imagine that once logged-in, the website sends your browser an authentication cookie and with every consequent browser request, the session info is passed back to the website to authenticate access. I want to know how i can simulate this behavior of the browser with a php script in order to gain access and capture a page from this website. More specifically, my questions are: How do I send a request that contains my log-in details so that the website replies with the session information/cookie How do i read the session information/cookie How do i pass back this session information with every consequent request ( file_get_contents , curl ) to the website. Thanks.
