Hmm, popen will allow you to open a process and either write to stdin, or read from stdin. You could do a hack like this: $tempfile = tempnam("./tmp/","temp"); $fp = fopen($tempfile,"w"); fputs($fp,"This is cool\n"); fputs($fp,"This is a test\n"); fputs($fp,"This is not a test\n"); fclose($fp); $fp = popen("/bin/grep test < ".$tempfile,"r"); fpassthru($fp); unlink($tempfile); > Second question: > In what way does IE differ from Netscape with regards to how cookies and > authentication headers interoperate?
