Yahoo login script
Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2003 12:33 pm
I'm a newbie trying to write a script to backup Yahoo Group messages.
I can get the message and parse it ok but I don't know how to do the login to Yahoo and 'ok' the restricted access page (over 18).
This is what I want to do from the server:
1. User submits Yahoo ID and password.
2. login to Yahoo using the id and password supplied by the user.
3. click thru the 'restricted access' page (just says I'm over 18).
4. continue with my script to access messages.
I have looked around for something like this but haven't been able to find it. It can be done in javascript but I want to do it with PHP on the server.
Thanks for any pointers or help.
