springo Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hi, I look forward to parsing a dynamic page which requires cookie info to display properly. Is it possible to send cookie info so that file_get_contents() reads the proper page? Thank you for your help.

MadTechie Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 setting a cookie should work fine with file_get_contents(), unless its on another domain Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49060-file_get_contents-using-cookie-information/#findComment-240370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

springo Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 But that sets a cookie on the user's PC and file_get_contents() requests a file that needs to read the cookie on the server (yes, it's on another domain).

OK but your question was Hi, I look forward to parsing a dynamic page which requires cookie info to display properly. Is it possible to send cookie info so that file_get_contents() reads the proper page? Thank you for your help. so Step #1 set the cookie, Step #2 use file_get_contents() "to parsing a dynamic page which requires cookie info to display properly" as its on another domain, that domain will have to create the cookie, Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/49060-file_get_contents-using-cookie-information/#findComment-240397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
springo Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 The actual problem is that the domain creates a cookie that stores a default lenguage based on my (host) IP and I'd like to use another cookie because the one I get is wrong.

springo Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 OK let me explain it more clearly: 1- Hosting located in Spain runs my script which calls file_get_contents() to parse a website 2- Parsed website finds no cookie specifying a language on my host, so it creates one according to IP (so cookie will say "Spanish") 3- Returned contents are in Spanish so my parsing script won't work So basically what I need is a customized cookie saying "English", so that when I try to file_get_contents(), the parsed website returns contents in English. Thank you and sorry if I don't make myself clear enough.
