NJIT Login via PHP

njitLogin.php

<?php
/**
 * NJIT Login Script (11/20/2012)
 * 
 * This simulates a real NJIT login transaction using CURL requests.  You can port this to any
 * SunGard Luminis Platform, such as Middlesex County College and others.  The basic transaction
 * requires a user, password and uuid fields to be sent via POST request.  The validation mechanism
 * simply checks for the string "loginok.html" within the result HTML.  Beware, other login systems 
 * will require a different type of validation.
