i'm trying to get the comment data into a php script, but it's giving me nothing.
the login works fine, but trying to read the export_comments file gives me nothing.

any help would be greatly appreciated

sorry if i've not given enough information, or posted in the wrong place or something

I didn't read much of your code, I just stepped in to give a quick hint. PHP has APIs specifically for HTTP requests, using f* functions is superfluous.

As a guess, I'd say that you need to actually log in (i.e. using the webpage), and then send the cookie that LJ gives you along w/ the export_comments,bml request.

There's a protocol mode for generating a session.

Either way, it needs to get sent with the export_comments request.

Yup :) Just giving an alternative to ugly HTML scraping and parsing and so forth.
