Got examples?? of 2. GET and 5. POST because i don't understand how
you are running the script without curl_exec.

Here is what my reference is to:

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://127.0.0.1/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=1");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$x = curl_exec($curl);
preg_match("#name=\"sid\" value=\"(.+?)\"#i", $x, $sid);
$sid = $sid[1];
$postdata = "text...whatever...$sid";
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL,
"http://127.0.0.1/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=1");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$x = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

If I wanted to do all of this in 1 curl_exec step, how would I do it?
->since curl_exec reloads the page, or am I confusing something?
