Logging into Webmail - server session problem

[winwell 1]

I am doing a bot to log into my webmail through my server but each login has a new session id which features in the URL.

 

For example, https://blahblah.com:1234/cpsess14568747693/blah blah

 

The cpsession changes each time I log in.

 

To access the webmail I have to click a link but that link must contain the session id.

 

If I could obtain the session id from the URL after I'd logged in I could do it but I can't figure out how to extract that piece of data

 

So you login into the cpanel -

 

Then the session id is set in the URL

 

Need to know this to be able to include it in the URL to access webmail

 

Anyone help?

 

Thanks

Ahhh - after more digging I think I can use $url to get the actual URL and then extract the bit I need...

Just incase anyone's interested in the convoluted way I did this (there'll be an easier way using JavaScript or something I'm sure)...

 

I got the $url which contains the session id, saved it to a csv file then created a table from that csv file setting the delimiter as a '/', then set a variable as the value of the 4th column of row 0 of that table (which is the unique session id). Then I was able to construct the correct URL containing the session ID which successfully took me through to the webmail.
