I have the following code:

$homepage = file_get_contents("https://example.com/specific_page");
echo $homepage;

The browser already has a session of the site that I need access to, so if I open the url in new tab, the page will be properly loaded.

The issue is that the php script, redirects me to “You are not logged in” page. Note that the url is available even after I restart the browser.

Any ideas how to get content without writing a code that logs in to the site?

    PHP runs serversided so it has its own session handling, there is no link to your browsers session. You can use cURL and options like CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR to do this. With cURL you can login via PHP and keep the PHP session of the website you are requesting. You will find a bunch of examples in the cURL documentation I linked.
