O.K. I found this at php.net but it doesn't seem to bring up the paypal
page. I guess I am trying to simulate a form POST using headers. Any
ideas???
$paypal_vars is an array of the vars and values that paypal needs.
foreach($paypal_vars as $key => $value) {
$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
$req .= "&$key=$value";
}
$req = substr($req, 1, strlen($req) - 1);
$header .= "POST www.paypal.com HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen (/xclick/, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if(!$fp) {
echo "$errstr ($errno)";
} else {
fputs($fp, $header . $req);
while(!feof($fp)) {
$res = fgets ($fp, 1024);
}
fclose ($fp);
}
Thanks!
