I do an ereg match for each line that comprises the server info being outputed. These lines are not required for the request to work so if the output matches one of the values in the 'skipit' array I ignore it, and if there are no matches then I assume it's a required header and I output it. Again I'm working off of very little knowlege about how all of this actually works so I'm sure there's got to be a real solution to this. But for now at least the request works 100% invisibly between these two servers and I am able to accomplish what I set out to do. Thanks for everybody's suggestions. Here is the modified function... # =============================================================== # PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) # $host = valid domain (ie. http://www.asiostudio.com) # $path = relative URL (ie. /myfile.php) # $data_to_send = urlencoded key/val string (ie. "key=val&key2=val2&key3=val3") # =============================================================== function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) { $fp = fsockopen($host,80); fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.0\n"); fputs($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)) { $str = fgets($fp, 128); $skpit = array( "HTTP/1.1 200 OK", "Date:", "Server:", "X-Powered-By:", "Connection:", "Content-Type:", "enSSL"); $out = true; for($i=0; $i<count($skipit); $i++) { if(eregi($skpit[$i], $str)) $out = false; } if ($out == true) echo $str; } fclose($fp); } - Kevin -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
