Posting a Form

gotspy

I'm trying to get my shopping cart to page me when a confirmed sale is put into the databse.

If I create a page with the right form variables and post it, my pager goes off. If I use the following code to send the page automatically it doesn't work. I don't get an error message, and the page refreshes as it should.

I've searched the forums of here and devshed, I think I'm really close, but just missing something. Please help.

<html>
<head>
<title>Post return</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
if (isset($post)) {
//what URL am I sending this to?
$url = "http://www.pagenet.net/pagenet/page_gen";
//What port am I using?
$port= "80";
//these are the variables I want to send
$cont = "sysID=$sid&to=$number&message=$message";
//The length of content
$cont_length = strlen($cont);
//This is the HTTP header for the post reauest
$reqheader =
"POST pagenet/page_gen HTTP/1.0\n".
"Host: <A HREF=\"http://www.pagenet.net/pagenet/page_gen:80/\">[url]www.pagenet.net/pagenet/page_gen:80[/url]</A>\n".
"User-Agent: PostIt\n".
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n".
"Content-Length: $cont_length\n\n".
"$cont";
//Print it out to check the data being sent
//print("cont: $cont<br>Length: $cont_length<br>Header: $reqheader");

	$response = "";
	//ACTUALLY SENDIT!!! *BASH HEAD INTO WALL*
	$fp = fsockopen($url, $port, $err_num, $err_msg);
	if ($fp) {
	fputs($fp, $reqheader);
  while (!feof($fp)) {
  	$response .= fgets($fp, 4096);
  }
  fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
  fclose($fp);
}
	print("$response");
} else {
	print("Enter the message you wish to send.<br>");
}
?>

<form method='post' action='post.php?post=yes'>
	<input type='hidden' name='send_page' value='yes'>
	<input type='text' name='message'>
	<input type='submit'>
</form>

</body>
</html>

The $SID, $NUMBER and $Message are what the pagenet system is looking for.

I've created this same thing with cold fusion for a client, and it took about 25 minutes to set it up and test it. I've been working on this for 5 hours now. PULL OUT HAIR

Thanks for the help!

As I posted that I realized I haven't looked to see if there are error messages coming back. So I added a line to print them. I get an error number 0 and no error message. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated.

It would be an advantage in future to put your code between the following tags php /php surrounded by [] []

<html> 
<head> 
<title>Post return</title> 
</head> 
<body> 
<? 
if (isset($post)) { 
//what URL am I sending this to? 
$url = "http://www.pagenet.net/pagenet/page_gen"; 
//What port am I using? 
$port= "80"; 
//these are the variables I want to send 
$cont = "sysID=$sid&to=$number&message=$message"; 
//The length of content 
$cont_length = strlen($cont); 
//This is the HTTP header for the post reauest 
$reqheader = 
"POST pagenet/page_gen HTTP/1.0\n". 
"Host: <A HREF=\"http://www.pagenet.net/pagenet/page_gen:80/\">[url]www.pagenet.net/pagenet/page_gen:80[/url]</A>\n". 
"User-Agent: PostIt\n". 
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n". 
"Content-Length: $cont_length\n\n". 
"$cont"; 
//Print it out to check the data being sent 
//print("cont: $cont<br>Length: $cont_length<br>Header: $reqheader"); 

$response = ""; 
//ACTUALLY SENDIT!!! *BASH HEAD INTO WALL* 
$fp = fsockopen($url, $port, $err_num, $err_msg); 
if ($fp) { 
fputs($fp, $reqheader); 
while (!feof($fp)) { 
$response .= fgets($fp, 4096); 
} 
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n"); 
fclose($fp); 
} 
print("$response"); 
} else { 
print("Enter the message you wish to send.<br>"); 
} 
?> 

<form method='post' action='post.php?post=yes'> 
<input type='hidden' name='send_page' value='yes'> 
<input type='text' name='message'> 
<input type='submit'>
