I am working with Apache2, PHP 4.3 and libcurl 7.9.8 (OpenSSL 0.9.6g)
According to my little experience, 'cookie.txt' is created by
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR in the Apache2 folder
(and not in the htdocs folder), I didn't need to create it previously.
As Steve said, you can give a complete path to CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, it will
create the cookie where you want.
If you want to use this cookie in another php file or function, just use
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");

Hope this helps.

You need to create the 'cookie.txt' file yourself. I don't think cURL will
create a file for you. (I could be wrong, its been a while)

The cookie.txt file is located in the same folder as the script is running
in, unless you tell it to go somewhere else.

It works man.
