It is a usual way to post the hidden field values too to the form like post values. Have you already tried to post the form values? ref. http://www.electrictoolbox.com/php-curl-form-post/

are you talking about using curl in a shell on the client?
curl --data create_domain=CREATE DOMAIN --data bil_contact_code=CPC003850 ... http:/.... > /dev/null

or are you talking about using curl from within your web application which receives the request from above form?

yes, you can automatic execute the above script into cron also

You can suppress output from any PHP script with output buffering. Use ob_start() at the beginning of the script and use ob_end_clean() at the end of the script. No output will occur, even if the script issues messages. However if the script fails to execute the ob_end_clean() function call, output may occur. I have not tested the solution posted here, but it looks like it might be worth a try.
