Can cURL work off of the brower's cookies?

[748323]

I know how to use cURL, but I've always had to manually plug cookies into the script. Can cURL work off of the browsers cookies?

This would probably be very dangerous, so I doubt it can, but its worth knowing. Thanks.

You could do that, but only if your script has access to the cookies you need, then you would have to manually set them, or save them to a file. You could just have curl save the cookies between executions ("sessions") and then you wouldn't have to have it passed each time.

HTH,

You can use anything that the browser send you. Have you inspected the $_COOKIE[] superglobal array?
