well... I was eventually able to recreate the form, but the problem was more complex becuase I still had no way to get PHP to actually fill out that form (i.e: send the POST variables needed for the script to send the text message), but I eventually found this beautiful script, which did the trick:
// http.inc by [email]nf@bigpond.net.au[/email]
// [url]http://nf.wh3rd.net/[/url]
function http_post($server, $port, $url, $vars) {
// example:
// http_post(
// "www.fat.com",
// 80,
// "/weightloss.pl",
// array("name" => "obese bob", "age" => "20")
// );
$user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)";
$urlencoded = "";
while (list($key,$value) = each($vars))
$urlencoded.= urlencode($key) . "=" . urlencode($value) . "&";
$urlencoded = substr($urlencoded,0,-1);
$content_length = strlen($urlencoded);
$headers = "POST $url HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-au
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
User-Agent: $user_agent
Host: $server
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache
Content-Length: $content_length
";
$fp = fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr);
if (!$fp) {
return false;
}
fputs($fp, $headers);
fputs($fp, $urlencoded);
$ret = "";
while (!feof($fp))
$ret.= fgets($fp, 1024);
fclose($fp);
return $ret;
}
I had to modify it a little for my situation, but eventually the messages made it to my cell, so the problem is resolved. Thanks guys.
