Hello... Instead posting a code I'll post "short" description of situation; now I'm totally stuck with no ideas, so there's no way of talking aoute code ... If you want to skip it, (that cursed) question is at the bottom of the text.
Problem : There's a Site (called later a ... site :) ) which is frequently visited by me and some of my friends. Site requires login (and it siply doesn't allows to pass beyond login screen and "about" section), but after first login recognizes all further calls (aah, freshly baked cookies). Site gives you variable information that depend on your login (this means I'm not neccesarily seeing what other people will see), starting from "Welcome, XYZ". I had wanted to simplyfy life and created on my webpage PHP-based "Portal" to acces site. Portal groups some frequently used options / links from the Site in one place and gives some more (local info, common interest links etc). Portal has "free" access - no login required. Of course, when I click link on Portal to [some place in the] Site, browser loads Site, gives apprioritate cookies, Site accepts it and recognizes me as registered user (no login screen). The same for my friends or anyone else logged to Site. That's no problem (those links are simple links, after all). Then I had tried to even more simplify life and get some of information published on Site to show it directly in Portal - and there starts the problem. Apprioritate script loads Site to variable, shaves and process this variable and post results on Portal. I theory, unfortunaltely ... To access those information, Site requires authorisation, so Portal's script has to authorize. If script didn't make it, Site simply stops at login screen (which is of no interest to me). I can use my own log/pass and write it "hard" to the script, but then anyone who open Portal with "borrowed' Site info will see the same info as I do (including "Welcome, Sejmitar"). I do not want to require authorizations in Portal, because this isn't make any sense - if you're required to login on Portal, it's simplier to login on Site. I know that each Site's authorized user has an authorization cookie(s) which is recognized by the Site. Question : Is there a method to 'borrow' this cookie (cookie info) with script on my Portal, and 'show' it to Site, or make Portal to point where Site can look for it's own cookies for authorization ? I'll be very thankful for any ideas ... ~) Sejmitar -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
