note 61395 added to ref.curl

If you're getting trouble with cookie handling in curl: - curl manages tranparently cookies in a single curl session - the option curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/cookieFileName"); makes curl to store the cookies in a file at the and of the curl session - the option curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/cookieFileName"); makes curl to use the given file as source for the cookies to send to the server. so to handle correctly cookies between different curl session, the you have to do something like this: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, COOKIE_FILE_PATH); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, COOKIE_FILE_PATH); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $result = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close($ch); return $result; in particular this is NECESSARY if you are using PEAR_SOAP libraries to build a webservice client over https and the remote server need to establish a session cookie. in fact each soap message is sent using a different curl session!! I hope this can help someone Luca ---- Server IP: 213.92.11.19 Probable Submitter: 213.215.240.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61395 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61395&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61395&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61395&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61395&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61395&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61395&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61395&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61395&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
