Hi Stephen, Thanks for your reply. You'll notice I commented out that
function because that is what was causing the problem to begin with.
Upon searching various forums, I came across that "curl_redir_exec"
function which was to prevent the error I was getting. Unfortunately
since this is a web host provider, I will not be able to do anything with
the versions, hence why I need a work around.

  I noticed that you use the custom function and have
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION set to 1 in your code. Is that what you meant
  to do?

  Aside from that, have a look at this forum topic - you may have an
  issue with versions.

      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
