POST request from PHP Script-to pass var

[Anon]

Hi there,

I'm trying to make a POST request form a php script to pass variables:

1) User fills out the payment form;
2) Submits it;
3) PHP script validates information, adds more varialbes and sends it to the payment gateway;
4) payment gateway returns a set of variables
5) decline processing, authorize processing;

so for #3 I'm trying to make it post from mym PHP script in to script on a payment gateway server.

So can anybody tell me how I can make a POST request from PHP script to make all this above scenario work?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you have cURL installed, you can post variables using something like the following:

$URL="www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://$URL");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $poststring);
curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

for PayPal, obviously. I'm working on that right now also.
