php - Is it possible to set the cookie content with CURL?

Question

I have been searching for a way, to specify the cookie data for CURL. I have found some solutions on how to save the cookies from a visited page, but that's not what I need. What I want is, to write the data for the cookie myself, so CURL uses it.

Answer 1

You can use curl_setopt with the CURLOPT_COOKIE constant:

<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// cookies to be sent
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "fruit=apple; colour=red");
