Cookies, sessions and HTTP requests
Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2003 8:34 pm
hello,
i relatively new to php and the web, but i'm a fairly proficient C/C++ programmer. I trying to start a site for my fantasy baseball league. Right now the site is hosted by Yahoo, and I would like to be able to "harvest" certain bits of data from the Yahoo! site. I'm not very familiar with HTTP so bear with me.
I was wonderding if was possible to write a php scirpt that masks itself as a web browser so Yahoo can store it's cookie and session data correctly and allow my script access to the league, which is password protected. How difficult would this be? Can someone point me in the right direction while I read up on HTTP.
Thanks for your time...
