Problem with remote files

[Anon]

I have used this to download web pages from remote servers:

$f = file ($url);

One page I'm trying to download does only allow to view itself when cookies are enabled. And the file() function obviously doesn't support cookies.

Is there any way to make file() support cookies or is there some other way to download the page?

Try curl(), or maybe run a browser program via system(), passthru()....
