Hi folks, so im using PHP to give this one a shot, the logical steps to take are: (without giving too much away)

get the string of text from the tyout.php page
select the appropriate section of that string
append that sub string to a URL
navigate to that URL

That is no problem at all, but the problem i DO have is that i need to be logged in to view the tryout.php page and my PHP script isnt logged in. Is this part of the challenge? Or is just a bug that prevents people using certain routes?

As i said im using PHP, my preferred language and im using CURL.

If anyone has some advice for logging myself in, or bypassing the logging in then feel free to PM me or if its not spoilerish post it here for all to see :)

Its a real pain, im fairly experienced with PHP but not with CURL (or gathering remote strings/data)

Okie Dokie, ill see what i can do ;) Thanks!

I just wondered if t was part of the challenge and needed to be solved, or if it was just a side effect of another part of the site and hence unsolvable.

But now i know its part of the challenge its turn to churn out some code ;)
