but it is not working why?

Sam Vimes

what happens when you try it? On a lot of free hosting the curl functions are disabled

why do you have curlopt_url and curl_exec twice?

are you sure the url is right? To log in would you use the url www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/?username....

btw, you left your username and password in that code
