Get cookie of a website using pfsockopen();

[karthikeyan_coder]

Hello,

          I am trying to get a browser cookie(not a text file cookie) value of a remote website.

 

I've installed "Live HTTP headers" plugin for firefox, to trace all header information.

 

I am using pfsockopen(); for reading a remote website...

 

In header.. Two kinds of cookie values are there.

1. Set-Cookie:

&

2. Cookie:

 

I need Cookie value alone.

 

Any help would be really appreciated.

stream_get_meta_data() + preg_match().

 

Here's something I was using recently:

<?php

$source = fopen($url['SignIn'],'r',false);
$contents = stream_get_contents($source);
$metadata = stream_get_meta_data($source);
fclose($source);

foreach ($metadata['wrapper_data'] as $value) {
if (preg_match('/Set-Cookie:\s*([^;,\s]*)=([^;,\s]*)/',$value,$match)) {
	echo "Cookie: $match[1]=$match[2]\r\n";
}
}
?>

 

I know that's looking for Set-Cookie, but you can change "Set-Cookie" to "^Cookie", and it should suit you fine.

Actually, could you post a sample of the Cookie value?  That regex might not be correct for what you're looking for.

You can see two "Cookie:" in first and second secions...

 

First Cookie: value is having low data...

 

Second section's "Cookie:" is having more data... But it is having first secion's "Set-Cookie:" value as a part...

 

I dont know how to get these values from those pages...

 

[Wildbug]

Okay, so set the regular expression to:

/^Cookie:\s*(.*)$/is

 

And, of course, you can also split the result by the delimiter "|" if you need to:

 

$parts = explode('|',$match[1]);

[karthikeyan_coder]

Thanks for the help with regex.

 

I got above Header informations ONLY FROM "live http headers" plugin for firefox.

 

My only one question is.. How can i get Header information like this from google.com page?

 

#1: I need to get these information from google.com/blablab

#2: Store it in a $PHP_Variable then do "String Findings" using Reg Ex

 

You friends helping for #2.. I need your support for #1

[Wildbug]

You said you were using pfsockopen() for reading, right?  In the example I posted first, I used fopen(), but you can use stream_get_meta_data() with either of them.  That's how you'll get the header data.  It'll be in the 'wrapper_data' element of the array returned by the meta data function.  See the PHP man page for more details, if needed.

 

Some bare code to illustrate:

$sock = pfsockopen(/*...URL...*/);  // Whatever you've used to open

$metadata = stream_get_meta_data($sock);
foreach ($metadata['wrapper_data'] as $value) {
if (preg_match('/^Cookie:\s*(.*)$/is',$value,$match)) {
	echo "Cookie=$match[1]<br>\n";
}
}
