I often do the same tasks on multiple clients’s accounts at a website I do not own, and I was wondering how can I use the database of username/password I have in tandem with parallel sessions of an external website to cut down time?

I’m familiar with php and autohotkey for windows, but also develop on the mac. Where would you guys head given this info to cut down the menial task-work?

Also, Sandboxie isn’t my style. I’m not keen on coding an autohotkey to open so many browsers (upwards of 100 accts).

Thank you

    You can emulate impersonate a browser in PHP with curl.

    Try starting here:
    http://in.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-init.php

    It could be as easy as building a form as a string and submit it with the headers, and then requesting a series of urls.

    Chances are you need headers with cookies in and possibly special form tokens or other protection on the target site. You’re probably going to need to parse HTML, i think simpleHTMLdom is the tool.

    Are the tasks you want to perform reasonably definable by code? You can react to values that you know about. But keep in mind that a php solution will be headless, unless you program it to behave otherwise.
