PHP: Log in to a .aspx site and retrieve response

Question

How can I log in to a website's .aspx page and retrieve the response? I would like to log in to www.laterooms.com/hoteliers. I've found many examples for logging in to standard POST forms but not for this kind of form.

Is it also possible to maintain a cookie container in PHP?
