Answer 1

$postdata = "username=".$username."&userpass=".$password"; 

change to:

$postdata = "username=".$username."&userpass=".$password;

And also do you have this like this?

$url="http://www.yourdomain.com/news.php";

Also add this curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);.

And also this may help:

$headers  = array();

$headers[] = 'application/xhtml+voice+xml;version=1.2, application/x-xhtml+voice+xml;version=1.2, text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1';
$headers[] = 'Connection: Keep-Alive';
$headers[] = 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8';

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
