can php accept remote cookies?

[davemarsh]

hi - is the a way for php to accept a remote server cookie, or a way around it?

what i'm tyring to do, is send a string to a remote page that won't allow you to post to it unless you have a session cookie already set by it.

eg :

<?
$f=fopen(&quot;

http://xyz.com/page-to-post-to.asp?str=hello&quot;,&quot;r&quot;);

fclose($f);
?>

... wouldn't work, because php can't hold the session cookie.

any ideas? - cheers.

oh and in 'page-to-post-to.asp' the code would be something like this:

<%
response.cookies(&quot;sesh&quot=&quot;blah&quot;
%>

<%
if request.cookies(&quot;sesh&quot<>&quot;&quot; then
response.write request.querystring(&quot;str&quot
else
response.write &quot;can't post.. no cookie found&quot;
end if
%>
