Try using:
     |curl_setopt($ch, ||CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION||, true);
|
If that doesn't work, there is a function listed in a comment by "eion
at bigfoot dot com" at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php . It seems to have
some merit though I haven't tried it out. If that doesn't work out for
you, there are lots of other redirect related comments on that page.

There are different ways to accomplish a redirect on a web page. It
looks like the code that I've referenced above looks for a "Location:"
header. I don't think it handles meta refreshes however.

To handle cookies, try:
     |curl_setopt($ch, ||CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE||, 'C:/path/to/cookie.file');
| |curl_setopt($ch, ||CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR||,
||'C:/path/to/cookie.file'||);|
||
to have curl keep track of cookies.

That should get you started.
Good luck,
Morgan Galpin.
