#8100 — cURL and $_SESSION

I am invoking a script via cURL, with POST variables.  Seems to 
work fine, but...

On the first invocation I set a session variable, when I return 
to the same script via cURL from the same computer (with a 
different command) the session array is empty.

I verified that I am setting the session variable correctly.

What is special about using Session when invoking a script via cURL

yes, I do session_start (); as the first executable line in the 
script.

This looks like the solution:

That did not do the job, but gave me a hint.
I fixed the problem by adding:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
so that curl would know where to save the SESSION Cookie and 
where to find it for the next script.

I have other scripts on that server that use $_SESSION and are 
invoked from the web - Session works just fine.
