how to call a POST method in php?

[Anon]

hi
can someone tell me how i can do a POST method in the middle of my php script?

I'm getting inputs from a form, and I need to "POST" that information onto another server not under my control. they only accept information POSTed to them.

after the POST, i want to manipulate that data and insert the same set of data into my own database.

then redirect to a thank you page.

so, does anyone know how php can do this? i heard that perl has some way of doing this. i would prefer if there's a php way out.

thanks

You still need to POST to your page; that's the
only way you can retain control. But your php
code that processes the posted data can
certainly open a tcp/ip session to another
site and POST to a page there.
