I think you are probably not collecting and sending back the cookies
sent by the server that may be used to identify an authenticated user.

It is not a big deal. You may want to try this HTTP client class that
uses the fsockopen function but it is well aware of the HTTP protocol in
order to act like a real browser. It can collect and send back any
cookies, emulate form submission, including file upload if necessary,
handle authentication, redirection, etc...
