Solved: RELATED QUESTION: How do I login to this form with cURL (PHP)?

Experts,

I am attempting to login to this form with cURL. I have attempted several different ways with no luck.
What do you reccomend?

Is there a way to login without using the form fields like:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"$caturl");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password");

$buf1 = curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

I have also attempted:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.website.com/login/login.aspx?");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, " login fields here");

ob_start(); // prevent any output
curl_exec ($ch); // execute the curl command
ob_end_clean(); // stop preventing output

curl_close ($ch);
unset($ch);
