For that, you'll need to open a socket. The function to do this is
usually called PostToHost, and I don't know why it isn't in even the
annoted manual page for fsockopen. A quick google search should turn
up copies of it in all the PHP mailing list archives. But, here's the
version that I use (It's been modified to support both GET and POST):
function sendToHost($host,$method,$path,$data,$useragent=0)
{
// Supply a default method of GET if the one passed was empty
if (empty($method))
$method = 'GET';
$method = strtoupper($method);
$fp = fsockopen($host,80);
if ($method == 'GET')
$path .= '?' . $data;
fputs($fp, "$method $path HTTP/1.1\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\n");
if ($useragent)
fputs($fp, "User-Agent: MSIE\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n");
if ($method == 'POST')
fputs($fp, $data);
while (!feof($fp))
$buf .= fgets($fp,128);
fclose($fp);
return $buf;
}
$data should be the variables of the query string, minus the question
mark. That is, var1=value1&var2=value2, etc. The function doesn't
encode it, so you'll need to do that.
HTH,
