I think the problem is more fundamental. cURL isn't useful for
filling in forms. What cURL could do for you is to simulate sending
("POSTing") a completed form to the form target... ie simulate what
happens after a human fills in the fields and then clicks the "Isci"
button. You can read about the POST process here... it's a
fundamental part of the internet :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POST_(HTTP)

So, can we do this with cURL in your application? Turns out to be
pretty hard... it's not just a "normal" POST.

If you examine the page source at
https://raz.zav-zdruzenje.si/infocenter/Search.aspx you'll see that
clicking the Isci button runs some javascript.... so you could dig
into that javascript and see how it works, then simulate THAT with
cURL. The javascript most likely carries out a POST, and probably
some other processing... so you'd have to simulate the other
processing in PHP and then do the POST with cURL. Of course you'd
also need to get the captcha solved somehow... perhaps with a service
like http://www.deathbycaptcha.com/

An alternative approach, if you are happy to solve the captcha
yourself and just want to save time filling in the other fields is to
use a windows machine and control Internet Explorer through vb or vba.
Here's a rough example to get you started :

Good luck :)
