Many thanks for this, do you happen to have an example of sending the cookie
session via header prior to the redirect ? Cheers.

cURL session and cookies are always separate from the browser's. You'll have
to send a Set-Cookie header along with the redirect header, using the
cookies that you have saved to /tmp/mycookie .

Dear Group,

I am in the process of writing a php script that adds items to a shopping
cart on another website and then performs a header redirect to the cart page
on the other website. However, at the moment my curl session is not
maintained on the redirect session (which I expected to be honest). Is it
possible for me to maintain the session used during the curl interactivity?
This is an example of the code I am using :

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://www.cartwebsite.co.uk/index.php?action=showbasket
<http://www.cartwebsite.co.uk/index.php?action=showbasket&_prodid=>
&_prodid=".$_POST['panel_select']."&_qty=".$_POST['panelqty']);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/mycookie");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/mycookie");

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

header('location:
http://www.cartwebsite.co.uk/index.php?action=showbasket');

If I set RETURNTRANSFER to be 0 the session is maintained of course and
content echoes however I wish to allow users to continue on the redirect
website with their cart items intact. I hope this makes sense and any help
you can give me would be great. Many thanks.
