Hi, I'm trying to login to my school's website to get my schedule for
the day and I'm trying to do it all in PHP and cURL. First I hit the
login page to get the session cookie, then I post to the receiving page
of the login form with my credentials and then try to curl to my
schedule page. The problem occurs after logging in: I get sent to the
site's welcome page, thus leaving my script and I am unable to then go
to the schedule page. How can I stop this redirection and stop as soon
as I have the cookie that keeps me logged in so I can go to the schedule
page? My code is below:

<?php
    $pages = array('home' =>
'https://my.school.ca/banprod/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin',
               'login' =>
'https://my.school.ca/banprod/twbkwbis.P_ValLogin',
               'schedule' =>
'https://my.school.ca/banprod/bwskfshd.P_CrseSchd');
    $ch = curl_init();
    //Set options for curl session
    $options = array(CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE
6.0; Windows NT 5.0)',
             CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => FALSE,
             CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 2,
             CURLOPT_HEADER => TRUE,
             //CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
             CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE => 'cookie.txt',
             CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR => 'cookies.txt');
   
    //Hit home page for session cookie
    $options[CURLOPT_URL] = $pages['home'];
    curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
    curl_exec($ch);
   
    //Login
    $options[CURLOPT_URL] = $pages['login'];
    $options[CURLOPT_POST] = TRUE;
    $options[CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS] = 'sid=xxxxxx&PIN=xxxxxx';
    $options[CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION] = FALSE;
    curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
    curl_exec($ch);
   
    //Hit schedule page
    $options[CURLOPT_URL] = $pages['schedule'];
    curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
    $schedule = curl_exec($ch);
   
    //Output schedule
    echo $schedule;
   
    //Close curl session
    curl_close($ch);
?>
