Check out cURL: > > http://php.net/curl I was afraid you were going to say that, and I wasn't sure cURL was supported on that server. But I just loaded phpinfo on that server, and it is supported. However, assuming it *wasn't*, I've found the following example from a google search (thank goodness for google's "hinting" or I couldn't have found it): $fp = fsockopen("www.site.com", 80); fputs($fp, "POST /script.php HTTP/1.0 Host: www.site.com Content-Length: 7 q=proxy"); I don't know much about doing things this way. It appears that when done this way, the "body" must be separated by a newline, just like email. And it appears that the content-length of 7 indicates the length of the "q=proxy" string. Assuming I piled on a few other passed variables the same way as "q", separated by newlines (and adjusted the Content-Length accordingly), would the above work? Are there liabilities to doing it this way? Paul -- Paul M. Foster -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
