I'm using cURL to log in a website, but I don't know how to get/use the cookies I get.
Does anybody has an idea?
Thanks

just add
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, 'someKey=' . $_COOKIE['someVal . '; path=/');
and you have a cookie in your request. if u need more then one cookie, look up this function on php.net and find "cookie file" or if u need to save cookies from the response find "cookie jar"

Maybe, this example will help...
#!/bin/bash
COOKIE_FILE="cookie.tmp"
MAIN_URL="http://localhost:8080/monitor"
if [ -e $COOKIE_FILE ] ; then
rm $COOKIE_FILE
fi
curl -d "j_username=user&j_password=pass" -c $COOKIE_FILE "$MAIN_URL/j_spring_security_check"
DATA=`curl -b $COOKIE_FILE "$MAIN_URL/host/list.json"`
curl --get -b $COOKIE_FILE "$MAIN_URL/host/addHost.json?newHostAddress=192.168.77.197&newHostPort=9990"
rm $COOKIE_FILE
