you don't want/need the GET query in $pf ...
instead something like this needs to be used (AFAIK):

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(
	'AccountID'  => 'XXXXX',
        'PassPhrase' => 'XXXXXX',
	/* etc, etc */
));

refer to http://php.net/curl for more info.

this assumes that e-gold does accept POST as a request method
(which you test form seems to indicate it does)
