Reading header from page and using it

[Anon]

Hi,
i am trying to send a header to a page using fput, then read the response that page sends, then set that response as a header for that page to set any cookies etc the page might want to set. My current code is as follows:

// Build the request string
$request = $varname1."=". urlencode($var1);
$request .= "&".$varname2."=" . urlencode($var2);

// Build the header
$header = "POST /page.htm HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-length: " . strlen($request) . "\r\n\r\n";

$fp = fsockopen('www.site.com', 80, &$err_num, &$err_msg, 30);
if ($fp)
{
// Send everything
fputs($fp, $header . $request);
// Get the response
while (!feof($fp))
$response .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose ($fp);
$response=substr ($response, 0, strpos($response, "<"));
header ($response);

however this doesn't seem to work... any ideas?

thks,
elie

You would have to send each line of the headers in a separate header() call.

// Get headers from response
$headers = substr($response, 0, strpos($response, "\r\n\r\n"));

$list = explode("\r\n", $headers);

for($i = 0, $count = sizeof($list); $i < $count; ++$i)
{
if(stristr($list[$i], "set-cookie")) // Optional
{
header($list[$i]);
}
}
