Just a couple of advises

1. Have you tried to escape the email adress? Could be som unwanted chars like @ or something
($post_fields = "login=".urlencode(abcd@hotmail.com)."&passwd=123456";)
2. Have you checked the headers for additional fields that need to be posted?
(PPSX=Pa&PwdPad=IfYouAreReadingThisYouHaveTooMuchFr&login=me@hotmail.com&passwd=xxx&LoginOptions=2&PPFT=B5vz2qQPjMAP4MJP00HQBBIqHrTvGEZwIS9qdiq%21o0ghdSLOtEwp%21mI1oVT**ALt7IGJgMSN8qdDNiG6dL0nf7fiD8sj)
This is what i got in my post field when logging in to hotmail...

Give it som thoughts..

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
$output = curl_exec ($ch);
echo $output;

?>

and I keep getting this error in login page

The e-mail address or password is incorrect. Please retype the e-mail address and password, or sign up if you haven't already done so. Need help signing in?

Do you have any idea on it?
