Use CURL to get cookie value and set cookie value

Hey I am using curl to access a page that has iframes, and uses cookies.

I need to access the index.php
grab a cookie by its name

then go to a page in the iframes with the cookie set in the header, or something like that.

can anyone help?

 

Will this help?

I made this function for you try it :

function get_content($url)  
{ 
	$ch = curl_init();  
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);  
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); 
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; en-US)');
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt");
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt"); //saved cookies
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	   
	$string = curl_exec ($ch);  
	curl_close ($ch);  
 
	return $string;      
}

$ch = curl_init('http://www.google.com/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// get headers too with this line
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
// get cookie
preg_match('/^Set-Cookie:\s*([^;]*)/mi', $result, $m);
 
parse_str($m[1], $cookies);
var_dump($cookies);
