Read up on [man]curl_setopt[/man]. You'll want to set a cookie file and you'll want to also look at the options which allow you to POST values to a login form and lastly to return the results of the fetched page as the result of [man]curl_exec[/man].

I have been able to login to unsecure sites but not been able to login to secure (SSL) sites via curl.
I have been using following lines,

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);

ALSO tried following

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);

Can any body help?

I think that in order to verify the remote site via SSL, you have to specify a certificate bundle. If you are unconcerned about whether the connection is encrypted or not, you should read the docs on those options you are setting. If you set one of them to 0 or FALSE then it won't bother validating the ssl credentials.
