Here is what I would do:

<?php

$cookiefile = 'cookies.txt';

$args['login'] = "user";
$args['passwd'] = "pass";
$args['.src'] = '';
$args['.tries'] = 5;
$args['.bypass'] = '';
$args['.partner'] = '';
$args['.md5'] = '';
$args['.hash'] = '';
$args['.intl'] = 'us';
$args['.tries'] = 1;
$args['.challenge'] = 'ydKtXwwZarNeRMeAufKa56.oJqaO';
$args['.u'] = 'dmvmk8p231bpr';
$args['.yplus'] = '';
$args['.emailCode'] = '';
$args['pkg'] = '';
$args['stepid'] = '';
$args['.ev'] = '';
$args['hasMsgr'] = 0;
$args['.v'] = 0;
$args['.chkP'] = 'N';
$args['.last'] = '';
$args['.done'] = '';

$page = 
PostPage('http://login.yahoo.com/config/login',$args,'',$cookiefile);
echo $page;

function PostPage($URL, $args = array(), $referer = '', $cookiefile = '') {
   if ( $args == '' ) $args = array();
   if ( count($args) ) {
     foreach ( $args as $key => $val ) {
       $postfields .= "$key=" . urlencode($val) . "&";
     }
     $postfields = substr($postfields, 0, -1);
   }
   $ch = curl_init($URL);
   if ( !defined('CURL_NOHEADER') ) curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC

       }

     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, 1);
   }
   if ( $cookiefile ) {
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookiefile);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookiefile);
   }
   if (!$webpage = curl_exec($ch)) $webpage = "Error: " . 
curl_errno($ch) . "\nDescription: " . curl_error($ch);
   curl_close($ch);
   return $webpage;
}
