Is there a PHP equivalent of Perl's WWW::Mechanize?

Anyway to do this with curl php?

  import mechanize
  br=mechanize.Browser()
  br.open('https://www.google.com/calendar/exporticalzip')
  br.select_form(nr=0)
  br['Email']='Username@gmail.com'
  br['Passwd']='Password'
  br.submit()
  br.retrieve('https://www.google.com/calendar/exporticalzip','exportical.zip')

Mechanize and curl are not that similar, after the fact they both can retrieve HTTP-based content. — Orbling, Jul 28 '11 at 14:31

There is an excellent PHP class which emulates web browsers much like curl does called Snoopy.

It allows a lot of extra functionality like extracting links from a fetched page and extracting form elements which might be quite useful in your case.
