can't get my curl login script to work?

[pushyr]

i've been following tutorials by the letter, but can't get my curl login script to work

do you see something that i might be doing incorrect?

$loginPage = '[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.test_page_login.com';[/URL]
$useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1"; 
$referrer = '[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.test.com';[/URL]
$cookieFile = 'cookie.txt';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, ''.$loginPage.'');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, ''.$referrer.'');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'emailx=test@email.com&password=myPass');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$store = curl_exec ($ch);
$content = curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch); 

echo '<p>'.$content.'</p>';

you probably need a session cookie from the referring site.

given the two url are in different domains one assumes that the session cookie must be passed in the url as part of the query string rather than as an ordinary cookie.

we may be able to assist further if you provide the url's you are using.

This is not particularly helpful. What is happening? What should be happening instead? Do you get any errors or warnings? What status functions do you check to see what the errors or warnings are? What is the output of $content?
