[solved] curl + session

[eluser]quasiperfect[/eluser]
hi

i'm building a connector from a ci project to a forum.
i created a controller where i dump some user session values
from the forum i'm calling the controller using curl but i get no results (i get the default value like no user session is started)
if i call the controller after i'm logged in it works so my problem is to pass the session along with curl.

what i have now

Code:

if (function_exists('curl_init')) {
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://127.0.0.1/ci/forum_connector/');
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0');
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE,'incookie');
   $results = curl_exec($ch);
   curl_close($ch);
}

thanks in advance for any help

[edit]
i solved my problem i replaced all curl_setop section with this

Code:

$cookie = (isset($_COOKIE['ci'])) ? 'ci='.urlencode($_COOKIE['ci']):'';
   $httpua = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))? $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] : '';
   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://127.0.0.1/ci/forum_connector/');
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $cookie);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $httpua);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

replace $_COOKIE['ci'] with $_COOKIE['yoursession cookie name']
