php :: Help on cURL POST to remote page with javascript

Hi all,

I am new here and I really thank God that I found this forum! I have read the materials here on working with cURL on javascript-form-submission pages. However, I cant to get my script to work. Can anybody here please help me out or drop me a hint on where to correct my script?

==Situation==

My company utilizes http://www.myfax.com/free/ to send our company faxes. My task is to write a code that would submit files for faxes electronically.

Note: The site also requires e-mail confirmation but I havent get to that stage yet. I have run tests on submitting fax requests both by code and manually through the site, and have confirmed that the code doesnt work on the submission level because I managed to receive confirmation e-mails for manual submissions.

PHP Code: <?php

//target page url
$strPage_url = www.myfax.com/free/;
