You seem to be guessing here. Have to analyzed the <form> tag closely?

Formfind reports this on the form:

--- FORM report. Uses POST to URL "/membership/login/login.cfm"
Input: UserLogin_required (HIDDEN)
Input: UserPassword_required (HIDDEN)
Input: UserLogin (TEXT)
Input: UserPassword (PASSWORD)
Button: "Login" (SUBMIT)
--- end of FORM

So you should use a string similar to this:

 "UserLogin_required=&UserPassword_required=&UserLogin=$id&UserPassword=$pw"

... and you should take care to have the name and password URL-encoded.

At least, there should be no 'login' button, but the two <input> tags without
value you need to check how they actually work.
