Capturing page content that is using cookies

[Damiro]

In building an application, I am trying to capture the content of a
page to see if the user has permission to view it. If they have
permission, show the link.

The user logs into the system and it sets a cookie. I'm trying to look
for the cookie, but it doesn't show any. When I view the page
directly, I do see the cookie.

I'm using file_get_conten ts currently. Is there another way to do this
so that cookies work?

Never used it, but CURL seems to be the answer.

http://www.php.net/curl

If they're available in your system, curl functions do all the dirty work
for you. Check specifically curl_setopt() with the CURLOPT_COOKIEJ AR
option.
