Re: How can I simulate the login process?

You have to http://php.net/fopen (or http://php.net/curl for SSL page) the login page, get the headers, snarf out the cookies or whatever, generate the appropriate cookie headers to send back on the next page (and every page thereafter). Your goal is to "fake out" the web server into thinking you're really a web-browser. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
