May I know how can I fopen a website and send the cookie information to the website to do authentication?

e.g. I have the cookie in IE already.
 
Why don't you use cURL functions (if you have them compiled)?
These functions offer CURLOPT_COOKIE where the data will be sent automatically. Then there will be no need to write your own code.

If you don't have cURL then I recommend using fsock() rather than fopen() for compatibility reasons if you have to migrate to another host. Not all hosts have all file wrappers or even URL wrappers enabled for fopen().
 
thx! all of your,
I will try with your suggestion!

thanks
