Send cookies using php

[d-dr]

Hello Every Body

I am new here 😃

---

I have a question ,i didn't find an answer for it :

if i want to get a file content like that :

<?php
file_get_contents('file.php');
?>

But the 'file.php' require cookies and post data !!
it will be blank if there is no cookies or post data

So My question

How i can send to the file.php the user's cookies and post method data in the php code ??

To be able to get the content of the file.php

Thank you in advance

For one, [man]file_get_contents/man is just going to give you the raw PHP code from the filesystem. If you actually want the PHP code in that file to be parsed and executed, then you'd want to [man]include/man or [man]require/man it instead.

Even then, you're not invoking it the same way you would if you opened a web browser and requested that same file - instead you're directly loading that script off the local file system and executing it as PHP code. Thus if it's looking at $COOKIE or $POST, then you could simply populate those arrays with the data it expects before you include/require it.

If you're actually talking about some remote webpage, then you'd want to use [man]cURL[/man] to send a POST request to it, along with whatever form data and/or cookie(s) are appropriate.
