I haven't seen >> CURLOPT_REFERER in any of your examples. (If I missed it somewhere, >> just ignore the noise.) Have you set your CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE properly? Also--you may need to unlink() it before you log-in using your cURL script to make sure that any invalid cookie values (i.e., expired session ID) are cleared out. unlink("{$homedir}cookiefile"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "{$homedir}cookiefile"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "{$homedir}cookiefile"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, session_name() . '=' . session_id()); ... (where $homedir is "/home/haliphax/" or some such value.)
