I send something using fsockopen() & fputs() :-)
Client sends request (submits form to my script) to me (i.e. server) and I want to send back to client a page with POST parameters from my script. But the page doesn't display in the clients browser (blank page opens). Question: what is missing in this script?

I send the parameters from one php script to another via POST method. The solution works (see example below) but the receiver page loads ONLY if I include the echo $c; command after send_host (see PROBLEM!!! line).
Without looking at your code, I can tell that this seems to not be a problem at all but rather a misunderstanding about what you're doing.
A client sends a request to a server, and the content of the response is displayed. This is an oversimplified explanation of how a typical HTTP transaction works.
In your case, the client sends a request to the server (you), and you're sending a request to another server while the client waits on your response. If you don't send anything, the client won't receive anything - it's pretty simple, really. :-)
In other words:
Client <---> You <---> Other Server
Hope that helps.
