POST via PHP

[yurko]

Hi guys
I am coding script which has to collect data from a website.
The problem is that webinterface of that site requires that initial data should be sent via POST method. How to do this in PHP?
fopen($url."?val1=1&val2=2"); surelly is not vorking...

Well, as you probably know that won't work because it creates a GET request, not a POST....

The easiest thing to do would probably be to use the cURL functions to build up a proper POST request.

If you want to do all the http yourself you could use fsockopen() and build the request by hand.

yeps I did it as u told -- http request viaa socket by hand 🙂

Well done -

I've been trying to find how to do POST requests without the cURL library and this looks like the answer - can anyone send a bit more detail on using fsockopen() to achieve this? I've been to the PHP site but it's not too explicit on this one.
