guys whenever i try submitting the form on ipower.com the curl fails to connect , i mean it doesnt connects to ipower.com but instead connects to my localhost.

Here are the headers i get :

PHP: 
<?
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://secure.ipower.com/secure/login.bml?err=");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$things = array(
 'credential_0' => 'desi',
 'credential_1' => 'mypass'
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $things);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookies.txt');

$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
I was able to store the cookies to a text file...make sure cookies.txt is writable..
 
Thank you all at last i got it working.
Thanks to t3odor for his function. the full code is as follows in case any1 needs it :d
Had to edit some parts though but you got my mind working =)
Code: 
<?php
function get_web_page( $url )
{
$options = array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, // return web page
CURLOPT_HEADER => true, // don't return headers
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", // handle all encodings
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "spider", // who am i
CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true, // set referer on redirect
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 60, // timeout on connect
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30, // timeout on response
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 5, // stop after 10 redirects
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR => dirname(__FILE__) . "\cookie1.txt",
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "MY POST DATA HERE FOR LOGIN :)"
);

$ch = curl_init( $url );
curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );
$content = curl_exec( $ch );
$err = curl_errno( $ch );
$errmsg = curl_error( $ch );
$header = curl_getinfo( $ch );
curl_close( $ch );

$header['errno'] = $err;
$header['errmsg'] = $errmsg;
$header['content'] = $content;

return $header;
}  //end of fn





function mailbox( $url )
{
$options = array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, // return web page
CURLOPT_HEADER => true, // don't return headers
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", // handle all encodings
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "spider", // who am i
CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true, // set referer on redirect
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 60, // timeout on connect
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30, // timeout on response

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE => dirname(__FILE__) . "\cookie1.txt",
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "POST DATA FOR CREATING NEW MAIL BOX HERE"
);

$ch = curl_init( $url );
curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options );
$content = curl_exec( $ch );
$err = curl_errno( $ch );
$errmsg = curl_error( $ch );
$header = curl_getinfo( $ch );
curl_close( $ch );

$header['errno'] = $err;
$header['errmsg'] = $errmsg;
$header['content'] = $content;

return $header;
}  //end of fn

get_web_page("https://secure.ipower.com/secureLogin");
mailbox("http://members.ipower.com/webControl/emailpack/mailcentral.bml");
?>
