cURL - Passing on page variable for after-login process

[ian2k01]

Hello everyone, I am working on a PHP cURL project for my company to automate downloading bank statement with login process. I pass through the login page no problem and able to store and reuse the cookie information;

 

but the site is a bit odd: the session/cookie i stored is in JSESSIONID, but in order for me to proceed to next page after login, there is an automatically generated SessionID which is different from JSESSIONID which i need to put on the URL request.

 

I have used network monitoring program, and was able to see the SessionID as one of the variable/parameter. But how could I do the same on PHP cURL? to get page parameter, set it as variable and reuse it to postfield? Thank you.

 

Here is my script

P.S. the SessionID would be like this: 12426624329771242662432977U[[bR??=96<692

and JSESSION would be like this: 33555EF380C964DBCDF8504A994DCBC1.78n4
