  Subject: Object Moved problem on web host provider (works on local
  machine)
  Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 13:25:46 -0500

  Hello everyone,
  I'm pretty new to cURL and I'm trying to get my frist script to
  work. I need to extract data from a site which posts to another ASP
  page, which then displays it's results on a 3rd asp page. I'm able
  to get this to work correctly on my local computer, however, I'm
  running into difficulties on my web host. Original problem on my web
  host was "Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]:
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an
  open_basedir is set in..." To prevent this, I chose to use a function
  found on one of the forums (see script below). Now I don't get this
  error anymore, however the page doesn't seem to redirect correctly.
  Here are the details, any info would be appreciated. Local Host:
  -----------
  safe_mode: off
  open_basedir: not set
  Web Host Info:
  ---------------
  PHP v 5.2.5
  safe_mode: off
  open_basedir:
  /tmp:/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/<mydomain>.com/httpdocs:/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/<mydomain>.com/logs:/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/<mydomain>.com/storage:/usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/<mydomain>.com/web_users:/usr/local/4admin/apache/lib/php:/usr/local/4admin/apache/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/4admin/phpstuff
