    Yep just like i said in the title.
    Can someone Please help me make this function im doing an experiment.

    For Example, Lets say the page i want to read normally says:

    <html>
<body>
Hello you are not logged in
<body>
</html>
    HTML:
    But with my cookie it says:
    <html>
<body>
logged in, url is <a href="http://www.google.com">this</a>
</body>
<html>
    HTML:
    I want to use curl or php to get file contents with my cookie, get the url http://www.google.com preg_match and then return it.
    Well i know how to do this using php's getfilecontents function but i cant use my cookie i think and i saw that with curl you can.

    Can anybody help me by making an example function please?, its realy urgent:(
    Thanks in advance to all Digitalpoint users!

    You're right, cURL is going to be the key here. Namely the curl_setopt() function and the "CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE" option to point to the cookie you want to use :).
