EDIT: How can I change the relative path to ‘relative-to-this-file’ mode? Like on my host…

I’ve got a cURL PHP script which works. It gets my schedule from my school site. Though there is one strange thing: On my webhost it creates the cookie.txt and on my localhost it doesn’t.

  • Why doesn’t cURL create a cookie on my localhost? Something with relative paths and wampserver? Maybe some settings on wamp?

I am using:

  • WampServer
  • Windows 7

cURL does create a cookie if I use: ‘/cookie.txt’ but ofcourse it creates it in my c:/. And that is obviously not where I want it to be. Also I want to prevent using full paths.

    be sure you have these two options in the curl setup phase

    $cookiefile = dirname(__FILE__)."/cookie.txt" ; 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookiefile);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookiefile);

    they will create a cookie in the folder your script resides in

    EDIT : added option to set the cookie in the same dir as the script is running in
