I am trying to figure out how to build a post string, and then user

to post it. I've done some research and I am not getting very far.
Basically what I'm doing is taking POST items, then validating them,
scrubbing them, and rebuidling the post string and trying to
resubmitt it
using headers(). I'm getting this error:
ErrorCGI ErrorThe specified CGI application misbehaved by not
returning a
complete set of HTTP headers.
Here is my header code, and the post string below it. I don't have
any idea
what I'm missing or doing wrong. Any help is appreciated!
header( "POST /v2/order_submitorder.php HTTP/1.0" );
header( "Host: new.vtusa.com" );
header( "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" );
header( "Content-Length: " . strlen( $post_string ) );
header( $post_string );
You're trying to post to the browser which won't know how to handle
it. The header() function is modifying the response headers that are
being sent back to the browser, they do not create a new request.
If you want to do a new request I suggest looking at curl. If you
actually want the browser to make the new request the only way is to
return a hidden form and auto-submit it with JS. However, as someone
else pointed out if that second request is coming back to the same
server there probably isn't any need for a second request at all.
