Re: [PHP] HTTP POST Question
Hmmm, I'm sorry - I didn't see any mention of flash in this thread. That is
a completely different story from what has been talked about so far.
What do you mean you can't write the unlink code? You mean you want to
delete a file somewhere from flash? That shouldn't be a problem - post from
flash to a php script - the script can do the unlink (make sure you have
correct permissions and *build* the correct path), then return a result code
back to flash. Not sure if I'm on target for your question or not.

Thankyou Julian but I am posting my variable from flash5.
The posting is not my problem. I just can`t write the unlink code.

It is a post class written by Alan van den Bosch which will do what you want
(post to a perl script, retrieve the results, and let you manipulate them
from within the posting php script). Here's some code using this class. I've
simplified this so it is untested in its current state, but should work.
I've used this class in many projects and it works very well.
?php
include("post.php");
$a=new http_post;
#where do you want to post today
$a-set_action("http://$SERVER_ADDR/cgi-bin/hello.pl");
# add some post arguments
$a-set_element('foo','bar');
#do the post
$res = $a-send();
#strip header
$res = strstr($res, "\r\n\r\n");
#display the results
echo $res;

If all you want is to display the remote page, within the local page,
then all you need is fpassthru()
ex.
$server = "http://www.site.com";
$fp = fopen($server,"r")// "r" is for reading
fpassthru($fp);
This will display the results of the remote file (html or whatever) into
the local file (in this case, your PHP file).

Good morning...
This should be a good monday morning question.
I have a cgi-bin written in perl (it's actually, a interface to a
perl-module which is a interface to a telnet-like protocol).
Anyways what I need to do is I have already existing code written in
PHP,
but at some point I need to call this cgi-bin and get a return code from
it
and process (good/bad result) and return to completed php script that
says
it called this cgi-bin. It's not very clear how to set the
HTTP_POST_VARS
for sending to a post command (which doesn't seem to exist);
Any ideas I don't see a function called:
$HTTP_POST_VARS =set variables;
$result = http_post("http://localhost/cgi-bin/script.pl");
Thanks,
evan
PS. I'd appricate a working example, even if it's a dummy version.

RE: [PHP] HTTP POST Question
Hi
I read a article about posting data .. and there was a script but I dont
know resource of this script. But this is working. let me give you a example
?php
// Posting function
function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) {
$fp = fsockopen($host,80);
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data_to_send)."\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n");
fputs($fp, $data_to_send);
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
$host = "cgiserver.x.com"; // target server
$path = "/cgi-bin/target.cgi"; // cgi's name
$string = "value1=value1value2=value2" ; // There can be more value
PostToHost("$host","$patha","$string"); // call the function
?

RE: [PHP] HTTP POST Question
I see the basic's... but... It's not completely clear from what I'm seeing.
1. It appears if I use the header function I have to redirect the page to
another page, it doesn't appear possible to retrieve a page into the current
page? Unless someone can show me some code that would do that.
2. it's not clear how you would actually set the HTTP_POST_VARS's and when
you use the header("Request-URI:"); if that uses the HTTP_POST_VARS?
as of right now it looks like the code would go as follows:
?php
$HTTP_POST_VARS (not sure how to set these
Something like this $HTTP_POST_VARS['uid']="userid"; )
header("Request-URI: http://localhost/cgi-bin/script.pl");
?
Is that all that has to be done?
thanks,
evan

Re: [PHP] HTTP POST Question
I've been struggling with the same idea.
I haven't been able to process the returned value, but I've the
following methods to DISPLAY the cgi results. Although, the PHP has no
way of knowing wether the CGI evaluated to a Yes or No result.
If you solve this, then please let me know.
$server =
"http://www.mydomain_name.com/my_cgi_file.cgi?var1=valueOnevar2=valueTWO";
//var1 and var2 are the parameters that you are passing to the CGI
for processing.
//your cgi would process these variables, then 1) print out the
result 2) return the desired variable...like, return ($var1,
$var2).
//open remote site
$fp = fopen($server, "r");
fpassthrough($fp);
//this will display whatever the remote CGI sends to STDOUT
//however, it will not process anything that is returned.
That is, the PHP doesn't know wether the CGI evaluated to GOOD or BAD.
That's as far as I've been able to get, I hope it helps.
If you do find a better solution, then please send me a copy.
I would appreciate it.

If all you want is to display the remote page, within the local page,
then all you need is fpassthru()
ex.
$server = "http://www.site.com";
$fp = fopen($server,"r")// "r" is for reading
fpassthru($fp);
This will display the results of the remote file (html or whatever) into
the local file (in this case, your PHP file).
