PHP POST METHOD.

Anon

Hi,

I was trying to construct headers with POST information. What I'm trying to do is pass some information from one script to another without using URL. Basicly, I want to do the same thing browsers do when you submit a form. What is exact format of the POST headers, so I can build them using Header() function?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Jorang

Hi Jorang. I've done this before so I can give you some tips. I downloaded http_post class from PX😛HP code exchange and used that to post to a webpage. But there's a bug in his code:

change:

$str.="Content-type: ".$this->_enctype;

to:

$str.="Content-type: ".$this->_enctype. "\r\n";

Read Matt Allen's "HTTPS transactions with PHP" column on here on PHPBuilder.

Hello, all.

I need something like this to work with secure web pages (posting to an HTTPS page).

Will http_post work for that? I'm not having much luck with it currently.

Jorang,

you need to include the file before you use it. To get started just do this.

$form_data = array('DATA_1' => $variable, 'DATA_2' => $variable2);

$a = new http_post;
$a->set_action('http://www.whatever.com/cgi/act.php');
$a->set_timeout(30);
$a->set_element($form_data);
if ($debug) $school->show_post();
$content = $school->send($debug) or die("http_post's send failed!");
echo $content;

The rest of the settings and instructions are in the http_post file, most of them are defaulted.

ooops, sorry about that. change $school to $a, I was cuting and pasting. also debug is a boolean value. having it set to true will let you see the fields, with other info.
