使用curl从外部站点获取搜索结果

Question

I have 2 sites, one main, one external. On the main site, I am using Lucene to search through it. The problem is, I am trying to also search through the external site.

The Form action for the external site:

<form action="https://secure.bcchf.ca/SuperheroPages/searchResults.cfm?Event=WOT" method="post" name="search_tribute" >

I've tried to use curl, but it only brings up the search form without actually doing the search (the field is empty as well).

<?php
$ch = curl_init("https://secure.bcchf.ca/SuperheroPages/searchResults.cfm?Event=WOT");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, tname='hello');
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
curl_close($ch);
?>

Any tips?

I don't have access to the form action since it's on an external site. All i have is a form that links to it when I submit it.

<?php
$ch = curl_init("https://secure.bcchf.ca/SuperheroPages/searchResults.cfm?Event=WOT");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array("teamName" => "hello", "searchType" => "team"));
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
curl_close($ch);
?>

Can you try this? I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be teamName instead of tName
