using cookies in cURL with php

Question

I am trying to scrape a shopping website which shows pricing in different currency.

There is an drop down box to choose a currency type which calls the following line http://www.xxxx.com/find/setCurrency.jsp?code=INR

after clicking it redirects to its parent page. If I clear the cookie the prices are are back in USD

I am working with cURL in PHP and simple_html_dom to scrape the products. How can I find which cookie is responsible for the action and how can I use cookies in cURL

Answer 1

You can use a Goolge Chrome extension Cookie Inspector to view add delete cookies.

To find the one that is responsible for currency open that site, clear all cookies using the inspector, select the currency and see what cookie is set now.

Hope this helps
