I second that you need to use curl:

$header = array(
            "MIME-Version"=>"1.0",
            "Content-type"=>"text/html; charset=utf-8"
        );
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->elqPosturl);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $this->curlOptTimeOut);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $this->proxyServer);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, $this->proxyPort);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $inputArray);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'MSIE');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

        $data = curl_exec($ch);
