Php curl doesn't submit form

Question

I want to make a php script that submits a form using curl. I've seen the other questions regarding this, and tryed like on other answers but i get the same result

I have a simple form that echo the value submited

<form action="form.php" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<input type="submit">
</form>

<?PHP
if (! empty($_GET['name'])){
   echo 'Hello, ' . $_GET['name'];
}
?>

and here is the curl script

$ch = curl_init();

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.mydom.com/form.php"); 
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(
  'name' => 'Aname',
  'submit' => 'submit'
  ));
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

  $result = curl_exec($ch);
  echo "$result";

The echoed result is just the form without the "hello & submitted value"

Everything seems to be fine, except the one that everyone has pointed. Try $_POST instead of $_GET — acpmasquerade

Wouldn't this be because of this line

if (! empty($_GET['name'])){
   echo 'Hello, ' . $_GET['name'];
}

you are sending a POST request to the page but you are looking for GET data.

EDIT Got beaten to the answer >.<
