Cant use cookie in windows...

Oni

Hi--

Having some difficulty in trying to write to a cookie file in windows...

$cookie_file_path = C:/Inetpub/vhosts/site/httpdocs/bar/cookie.txt

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file_path);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_file_path);

I made a cookie.txt file and its in the specified directory. However when I login to a site it doesn't write session code to cookie...

Thanks!

Are you sure the site has "session.use_cookies" enabled?

Did you try surrounding the file path in quotes, since it's supposed to be a string?

session.use_cookies On On

I also tried:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\site\httpdocs\bar\cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\site\httpdocs\bar\cookie.txt');

But that didn't work either...

I assume that the two lines of code you posted aren't used with the same connection. The cookiejar isn't written to until the curl handle is closed, and only the session id is written on the client. The actual session data is kept on the server.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "name=$id&pass=$pw");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\site\httpdocs\bar\cookie.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\site\httpdocs\bar\cookie.txt');
$content = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

When I look at the header that is recieved after executing this code I see the session ID. Login is successful, cookie.txt is empty.

My testing probably wasn't exhaustive, but it works fine for me--"cookie.txt" is created and contains the session id. I don't know what causes it not to work for you.
