All I had to do was set a cookie file:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookies.txt");

That did the trick! Thanks for the help Daniel.

The next thing I want to do is be able to post things to this page. I can
carry post data just fine, but the problem now is the page that it gets sent
to shifts around to other locations a couple of times before finally making
it to the form:

Error. Cannot save study note because study_id is not defined!.

It looks to me l ike what happens is when it finally hits the right form,
its no longer sending the post data. Any ideas?
