Getting session id of ASP pages from PHP.

I want to develop some code in PHP that is part of an ASP application.

I am wondering if there is anyway to get the session ID of an ASP page
(or any other scripting language) from PHP.

I assume that session id's are kept as cookies on the user's desktop.
If that's the case there should be some way of retrieving them.

Has anyone ever accomplished such a linkage?

Thanks

The following worked in perl for ASP 1 - they might have changed the
cookie format since then.

foreach $_ (split /; /, $ENV{'HTTP_COOKIE'}) {
$session_id = $1 if /ASPSESSIONID.{8}=(.{24})/;
}

Looks reasonable (except for that perl gunk :)

Care to translate.

Thanks

I wrote it years back, so I'd have to work through it all again, and I
don't have that set-up at the moment. You should be able to translate into
PHP's perl compatible regexps, but you'll need to check the current cookie
format.
