That package supports posting data and deals with cookies and such so
that you can login to a site and get pages from it afterwards.
You can then use something like HTMLSax to parse it if you really need
it. I use Perl regular expressions myself for simple HTML parsing.

Hi everyone,
I'm porting an application to an iis server. There is a login process
on the app which looks like this:
enter username & pass into a form ->
submit to a login script which verifies user/pass
on failure -> go back to login form
on sucess->redirect to wherever the login form wants to go (there are
several different logins, all using the same verification script)
the login redirect looks like this:
if(!$redirect) $redirect = HOMEPAGE;
header("Location:".$redirect);
pretty simple right? my issue is, the login works and the redirect to
the new page is made. however, the url of the new page as listed by
the browser is the same as the old url of the login script. to be
specific:
the login form is located at "/user/index.php"
the login script is located at "/lib/login.php"
the final page (where you are redirected upon login) is at
"/user/home.php"
when the login succeeds you find yourself correctly at "/user/home.php"
except the browser still lists "/lib/login/php" as the current url even
thought the content reflects "/user/home.php". This has the
unfortunate effect of breaking every relative link on the user home
page since the browser thinks it is in the wrong directory.
has anyone run across this before? is there a different iis
redirection method?
Thanks very much for any help,
-jonathan

Perhaps I would not assign the home page to $redirect, just play with an
else. Also you forgot an space betwen the colon and the URL.
After a Header, if you do not want anything else to be executed, its a
good practice to write an exit.
My proposed code:
<?php
if (isset($redirect)) {
header("Location: $redirect");
} else {
header("Location: /user/home.php");
}
exit;
?>
Hope this helps
Regards,
Jordi.
