No. The url is valid. I just want to know how to get hold of the contents of this particular one, especially using CURL. My testbed PHP script for this looks like so : $url = "http://www.0044.co.uk/Tariffs/Global/calculate-ekit.asp?Action=compute"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/cookiejar-$randnum"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $reffer); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); $data2 = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);

I'm relatively new to PHP/MYSQL/APACHE although I have a lot of IT experience in various technologies. Recently, I have set about trying to give myself a crash-course in PHP whilst developing a little generic webscraper. It is more or less there but I have been stumped by one particular website that I have attempted to extract information from. The site is www.0044.co.uk. If rather than navigating around the site by use of its buttons you use a fastrack option (for example, entering a url of http://www.0044.co.uk/Tariffs/Global/calculate-ekit.asp?Action=compute), you are taken to that page without any problem. When I try to mimic that using file_get_contents or by using CURL, I get an "object not found" error. I am baffled ! For simplicity's sake, let's say that the PHP looks like this : $url = "http://www.0044.co.uk/Tariffs/Global/calculate-ekit.asp?Action=compute"; $data = file_get_contents($url); echo "DATA = "; echo $data;
