HTTP-Request in PHP

hi,

I need to do an http-request to a cfm script on another server to get the values generated by that cfm script.

How can I do this in php? Please help ASAP.

I suggest using WDDX to pass the values since it appears you want variables and not web page-like text.

in php

$cfm_array = wddx_deserialize(implode('', file('http://cfm.sucks.bad')));

thanks

but will this run the cfm script as well? thats if I do something like:

$cfm_array = wddx_deserialize(implode('', file('http://cfm.sucks.bad?value=blah')));

pass values at the end of the file for the script to run a db query.

note: the cfm page/script produces a value after running a db query with the passed value.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wddx_deserialize() in /home/vkenya/public_html/get.php on line 3

why am I getting this error?

Er, it\'s pretty obvious that you haven\'t read the manual on the WDDX functions yet. Go do that then decide if it\'s the solution you want.

You will have to modify the .cfm page to return a WDDX packet if you go with my suggestion.

Apparently your copy of PHP was compiled without wddx support. It will have to be recompiled.
