Hi Richard,

The documentation states the opposite though, and personally I couldn't
really tell them apart at first glance - they should have name it something
like CURLOPT_COOKIELOADFROM and CURLOPT_COOKIESAVETO.
http://sg.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
The name of the file containing the cookie data. The cookie file can be in
Netscape format, or just plain HTTP-style headers dumped into a file.

CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR
The name of a file to save all internal cookies to when the connection
closes.

With regards,

You also need CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie);

COOKIEJAR is where it *gets* the cookies.

COOKIEFILE is where it will *store* the cookies.

Usually you want them the same, but imagine a case where you only want
to read the old cookies, and never store them...
