How can I use curl to log in multiple users from one PHP script

Question

Here is the scenario: I configured several users with login names aa1, aa2 .. zz99, all with the same password, now I want to log in to the php server with these login IDs. I have a working script that registers with one user with a username and password, and using curl, looks at the landing page:

// Assume php, since somehow the php encapsulation quotes were giving me trouble

$ sHost = $ argv [2];
$ sStart = $ argv [3];
$ sReqId = $ argv [4];
$ sPage = $ argv [5];
$ sReqLogFile = $ argv [6];
$ sRespLogFile = $ argv [7];
$ sUserName = $ argv [8];
$ sPassword = $ argv [9];
$ sExecDelay = $ argv [10];
// optional args:
if ($ argc> 11)

{
  $ sCommonSID = $ argv [11];
}
// $ sXhprofLogFile = "";
$ sSysStatsLogFile = "";
$ sBaseUrl = 'https: //'.$sHost.'/';
$ nExecTime = 0;
$ sCookieFileName = 'cookiejar /'. genRandomString (). '. txt';
touch ($ sCookieFileName);


// Set the execution delay:
$ sStart + = $ sExecDelay;


// Get the PHP Session Id:
if (isset ($ sCommonSID))
{
  $ sSID = $ sCommonSID;
} else {
  $ sSID = getSID ($ sHost, $ sBaseUrl, $ sUserName, $ sPassword);
}


// Sleep for 100us intervals until we reach the stated execution time:
do
{
  usleep (100);
} while (getFullMicrotime () $ sPage, 
                         "pageUrl" => $ sBaseUrl, 
    "execStart" => $ nExecStart,
                         "execEnd" => $ nExecEnd, 
                         "respTime" => $ nExecTime,
                         "xhprofToken" => $ sXhpToken,

                         "fiveMinLoad" => $ nFiveMinLoad);
  } else {
    $ nExecStart = 0;
    $ sUrl = "*** ERROR ***";

It seems that the snippet code you found is a command line script. To log in with multiple accounts, you need to regroup the execution code (everything from the beginning to the while loop) into a function, for example:

function login($sHost, $sStart,$sReqId, $sPage, $sReqLogFile,
               $sRespLogFile, $sUserName, $sPassword, $sExecDelay) {

:

foreach ($users as $sUserName=>$sPassword) {
    login($sStupidArgNames...);
