<?php

$cookie_file = 'cookies.txt';
$url_1 = 'http://example.com/index.php';
$url_2 = 'http://exemple.com/newpage.php';

$ch = curl_init($url_1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookie_file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']);

// Go to first URL
curl_exec($ch);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url_2);
// Go to second
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Clear cookie file
file_put_contents($cookie_file, null);

?>

    First of all thank you for your help. Is not really what i'm looking but it is a start.

    On my home computer I have apache installed and every time when I open my browser I would like this script to open automatically the ebay page and log me in. I tried to modify this script for using ebay, but i receive an error that my browser is rejecting cookies.

    I found a script here: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/examples/ebay_login.html

    but it seems this in not working anymore, can you please take a look.

    Thanks
