[PHP] Maintaining State Remotely

2004-04-29 Thread php chucker
I'm writing some code to login into my favorite sport site to get stats. I
get logged in ok with the post request showing my username and password, the
response screens welcomes me by name.  However when I send a second request
immediately after the successful login, I'm being told I need to login.  I
thought perhaps it might be cookies, so I tried setting the cookies to the
values previously set on the first attempt, but no luck.

Any ideas?

It could be that your missing a cookie. The website might be
sending a cookie when you request the login page.

Or you might not be sending the value back to them properly. It's
really hard to say without observing the whole login process and
observing  how they handle your session accross they website visit.

Liveheaders and firebird could help out in finding out what they're
sending and when.
