PHP using CURL: is there a way to emulate a cookie instead of saving it to a file?

Question

I access a REST api service that utilizes a variable called session_id. The API calls for this to be stored in a cookie and I accomplish this as follows:

$ch         


        

Answer 1

I use tempnam to generate a unique file name.

$ckfile = tempnam ("/tmp", "cookieMyWeb");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile); 

Generate a new file name before using curl.
