I am just doing this CURL as a test example. See I am new to
programming and I am learning php programming through a book called php
web development. I am catching on and in the book I was reading about
all the cool things you can do with CURL, so I started to do some
testing becasue this is how I learn. I have been sucessful with
posting to a few pages on different sites, but this one gave me trouble
and is kind of driving me crazy on why. I really have no use for the
data just getting it to work or figuring out why it may not work.
Now I see and have learned a couple things. You mentioned HTTP_REFERER
or they could have started a session. See I have learned through you
response becasue I had no idea these were limitation to CURL. That is
the book never mention it. Thank you.
Just for my reference is there any other limitation of CURL I should be
aware of?
Thank you.
