CURL and login form

Ok, so i want to make a curl to go to a website, logon and do some stuff. Yeah i know its simple and so on, but it has a catch. The website has a hidden field with a random token, its a number with 32 diggits. So i have to do this. I have to get the page, read the token and then submit the form, without refreshing the page previously. I have no idea as to how to do this... Cheers

Hey.

I don't get what the problem is.
If you are using Curl, wouldn't you just open the form page, parse this 32 char code from the HTML, and send it with the form data?

Yes, i can do that, but the problem is whenever the page refreshes it`s a new random number. So my question really is, can i read the page, and then without a new page visit post the data, and if it can be done, how?
