Hi Waruna!

thanks for you answer.

Here is the code that I'm using currently:

--------------------------------------------------
$cookieFile="/tmp/cookie";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookieFile);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, "gzip");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.some.url/submitSearch.action");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:
application/x-www-form-urlencoded'));

// The string is exactly the same that the one generated by the browser
$str_postdata="submissionType=pd&from_Date_Prj=JUN-2013&to_Date_Prj=JUN-2013&__multiselect_projectNameList=&__multiselect_selectedProjects=&propertyType=ac&from_Date=MAY-2013&to_Date=JUN-2013&__multiselect_postalDistrictList=&selectedPostalDistricts=01&selectedPostalDistricts=02&selectedPostalDistricts=03&__multiselect_selectedPostalDistricts=";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $str_postdata);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

curl_exec($ch);

$info = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT);

echo $info;

curl_close($ch);
--------------------------------------------------

The content of $info is

POST /submitSearch.action HTTP/1.1
Host: www.ura.gov.sg
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Cookie: BIGipServerpl-prod_iplanet_http_v4=214476992.20480.0000;
JSESSIONID=vjyWSCpX2G9V1tKpTTHxcZh0t9nTyyqtjC291JrtXJC1vk70m0xm!-1705297486
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 330

Hopefully it can give some clue about why the post to the form is not
working.
If I can add some other valuable info, please just ask me :)

Thanks in advance!!
Oscar
