It appears I was wrong, I do have cURL installed!
In that case I'll amend my earlier answer to the following...
<?php
// I can't see in your example where you're building the POST data,
but here's an example
$postdata = 'var='.urlencode($value);
if (function_exists('curl_init'))
{
// Do it with CURL
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://dmtrk.net/signup.ashx')
;
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$result = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
}
elseif (function_exists('fsockopen'))
{
$fp = fsockopen('dmtrk.net', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp)
{
$result = 'Connection failed: ['.$errno.'] '.$errstr;
}
else
{
fwrite($fp, "POST /signup.ashx HTTP/1.1\n");
fwrite($fp, "Connection: close\n");
fwrite($fp, "Host: dmtrk.net\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Length: ".strlen($postdata)."\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fwrite($fp, "\n".$postdata."\n");
// Get the status
$response = fgets($fp);
$result = (strpos($response, ' 200 ') !== false);
// Read the rest of the response
while (!feof($fp))
{
$response .= fgets($fp);
}
@fclose($fp);
if (!$result) $result = $response;
}
}
else
{
die('No suitable mechanism for POSTing available.');
}
?>
Note that I've not tested this at all, but it should work. Also it
would be better wrapped up in a function, but unfortunately I have
real work to do today.
