How do I fill a form on a remote server?

Hi,

I am building a recruitment website, and I need to be able to have users post their resumes to other websites, I need agencies to be able to post job vacancies to other jobsites, is there any way I can do this, I thought of using lib-curl, but I am new at this, and I could not find any good examples on the subject, any help would be greatly appreciated

I had a similar problem trying to send information to a form to the website for our companies SMS service provider.

This is the code we use to connect and send the post data:

    

$header = "POST <path to page> HTTP/1.0\n"; 
$header .= "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"; 
$header .= "Content-length: " . strlen($request) . "\n\n"; 
$fp = fsockopen("<server name>", <server port>, $err_num, $err_msg); 

if ($fp) { 
fputs($fp, $header.$request);
while (!feof($fp)) { 
$http_result .= fgets($fp, 4096); 
}
fclose($fp); 

for example if the page to post information to is http://www.myserver.com/pages/test.php then <server name> is www.myserver.com, <server port> is 80 and <path to page> is /pages/test.php.

Request is the information to send to the form in URLencoded format eg. foo=bar&foobar=foo+bar

hope this helps
