You need to open a socket:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php
Think there's a demo in the comments lower down the page.
Yup, here it is:
function httpPost($host, $path, $referer, $data) {
$fp = fsockopen($host, 80);
fputs($fp, "POST ".$path." HTTP/1.0\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: ".$host."\r\n");
fputs($fh, "Referer: ".$referer."\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-url-encoded\r\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data)."\r\n");
fputs($fp, "\r\n");
fputs($fp, $data."\r\n");
fputs($fp, "\r\n");
$tmp_headers = "";
while ($str = trim(fgets($fp, 4096)))
$tmp_headers .= $str."\n";
$tmp_body = "";
while (!feof($fp))
$tmp_body .= fgets($fp, 4096);
fclose($fp);
return $tmp_body;
}

Hi all,
I would like to simulate sending a form in POST to a specified URL through
PHP. I knwo how to do this from a HTML form :
<form method="post" action="http://url.com/query";>
blablabla
</form>
I would just like to simulate this because I have some processes that will
change the values of the form before sending it to the 'action' URL
With a GET, the fields would be included into the query strinbg, so this is
quite easy. What happens in a POST?
Any idea is welcome
Vincent
