fopen() and POST

[Anon]

Hi there,

with fopen() (or include() and maybe some others) I can open a remote URL and generally can do "things" with it. I can even add parameters by submitting a querystring like ?variable1=value1&variable2=value2 and so on.

This type of submittion is very similar if not identical to a HTML code
<FORM action="http://www.someserver.com" method="GET">

Now, does anyone know if it's possible to do POST-equal Queries?

Thanks in advance,

Dominique

Hi,
I can't understand what is the link between fopen() and POST

 fopen() is to open the file which is at some location.

 POST is the method to pass the information from the browser to the server.

 As per my knowledge there is "NO WAY" you can send the info with wuery string through POST method.

Cheers

Hi,

with a querystring there is no way indeed.
But is there any other?

You can do a POST using the PHP cURL functions. It requires that you have the cURL library installed and a PHP recompile if it isn't already installed. Use the phpinfo() function if you don't know if you have cURL support.

I found small libary which does just that:

It works without problems, so thanks anyways,
