A little follow up;

I added this to my script:
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

the above gave me this output:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:52:59 GMT Server: Apache X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.11 Set-Cookie: bb_lastvisit=1324588217; expires=Fri, 21-Dec-2012 21:52:59 GMT; path=/; domain=.developyour.net Set-Cookie: bb_lastactivity=0; expires=Fri, 21-Dec-2012 21:52:59 GMT; path=/; domain=.developyour.net Cache-Control: private Pragma: private Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

This tells me that curl is most likely acting the way that it should, only setting the cookies which are being sent to it. This makes some sense to me, as these are the ones that are "changing". The other cookies stay constant, thus are not being sent back.

How can I then get those other cookies into the cookie.txt and not have them get deleted from the file when curl writes to it again?

Thanx.
