This snippet may help you. I used this to call some cc processing
scripts from PHP. The output of the script is sent back to the
browser untouched. It deals with sending cookies to and from the
browser and will handle PHP style array parameters.
<?
if ($REQUEST_METHOD == "POST")
$values = $HTTP_POST_VARS;
else if ($REQUEST_METHOD == "GET")
$values = $HTTP_GET_VARS;
else
exit;
$parameters = "";
$machine = "www.somemachine.com";
$port = 80;
$errno = 0;
$error_string = "";
$proc = "/cgi-bin/someprogram";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($values))
{
if (is_array($val))
{
while (list($k1, $v1) = each($val))
{
$v1 = urldecode($v1);
if ($parameters != "")
$parameters .= "&";
$parameters .= "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$key" . "[]\" value=\"" .
urlencode($v1) . "\">\n";

$val = urldecode($val);

The field name on the form needs to be an array rather than just
repeating the field name more than once:
name=domain[]
Hope this helps. No warranty available.
