fopen() can support streams, if your configuration allows it:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php
Alternatively, you can use the socket functions to hand-roll an HTTP
request, in the event that you need stricter control over POST contents or
specific headers.
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.sockets.php
Or, if you're on a unix system, and curl's available as an executable, and
you consider exec to be a "standard" function, there's always this:
$response = shell_exec("curl http://www.example.com";);
I always use last method that in preference to the curl functions.
I find them incredibly overengineered. :)
