You've just encoded all the "&" and "=" separators; you should be encoding
the
keys and values separately and joining them up with "&" and "=".

Done that. Still fails. I get returned a 1, which I assume indicates curl
succeeded,

That depends on the options.

but nothing else returned to the $string I pass the result of the
curl to.

With the settings above, cURL would just print the results to the browser,
not
return any content. See CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER.

If you want more information, ask for it using curl_getinfo(), curl_error(),
and CURLOPT_VERBOSE.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.blah.com/bibble/Search.ASP";);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $query);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$login_contents = curl_exec($ch);
$error = curl_error($ch);
print $error;
print $login_contents;
curl_close($ch);

Pretty sure there is no curl error. Trying variations of this doesn't give
me any feedback apart from that 1.

Capturing the data sent back and forth using curl and also the normal form
posts, it looks like some cookie() are being sent as well during the form
posts, which might explain why its not working in some browsers and isn't in
others. Ithought I had it pinned down to a id cookie for the domain, but
apparantly not.

I think I might as well give up on this before I it becomes an even bigger
time-sucker.

Thanks to all for your brains
