Including vs activating .cfm in PHP scripts

Problem with cookie access

[DocJJ]

In a php script:

Case 1. <a href=http://www.test.com/test.cfm>

works as expected, however

Case 2. include "http://www.test.com/test.cfm"

doesn't.

Cookies that were accessible in Case 1 aren't accessible in Case 2.

Please explain.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, DocJJ.

There are no cookies on the server. Cookies are in a browser.

Coopster - Thanks.

I'm trying to reuse old .cfm script within this PHP script. The .cfm script was originally "included" in a primary .cfm script and variables and url parameters were available to the included .cfm script.

Using the local file version of the "include" wouldn't work, so I tried the full url version of the "include", which ran the application.cfm script causing cookie access problems.

Any suggestions?

Well, there is always the "imitate a browser" option. Basically you open a socket to the script and send the appropriate headers (including your cookie values) and then read the response back.
