On a side note... in the future, if you find that a particular process calls for POSTing to a different page, the cURL library (which I believe is now included with PHP by default in v5.x+) can accomplish a plethora of wonderful stuff that would ordinarily be handled by a browser (POSTing, basic HTTP authentication, SSL certs, etc.).
