The script below is working fine for me:
$data2send = "field1=value1&field2=value2";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.postside.com/postpage";);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01;
Windows NT 5.0)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "https://www.yoursite.com/";);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data2send);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
You can find meanings of options at:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
Some guidelines for options:
USERAGENT is sometimes necessary on some sites as they do not let you
connect if your browser is not known.
FOLLOWLOCATION is necessary for following redirects on posting page.
You can find others easily.
Yours,
