Re: Sending data via POST

["Shawn Kelly" <shawn.kelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is from php.net:

Just change the $out to fill with your POST request (instead of the GET).  Works good, you can change ports. :)

 

$fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
   echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
   $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
   $out .= "Host: www.example.com\r\n";
   $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

   fwrite($fp, $out);
   while (!feof($fp)) {
       echo fgets($fp, 128);
   }
   fclose($fp);
}

Currently I send data to another page by using

header("Location: http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] .
                    dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) .
                    "/" . $relative_url  .
                    "?" . $my_data);

My client would like the data passed via a POST rather than in the URL.

Can this be done and if so, how?

Many thanks....

Todd
