Here is my code which a used a while ago

$url= parse_url($serverURL);
$requestString= "POST ".$url['path']." HTTP/1.1\r\nConnection: close\r\nHost: ".$url['host']."\r\nContent-type: application/x-www.form-urlencoded\r\nContent-length: ".strlen($requestData)."\r\n\r\n".$requestData;
                $fp = fsockopen($url['host'], 80, $err_num, $err_msg, 5);
                if ($fp)
                {
                        fputs($fp, $requestString);
                        $response='';
                        while (!feof($fp))
                        {
                                $response .= fread($fp, 1024);
                        }
                        fclose($fp);
                }

thanks cosminb..I already have that kind code..what I don't know is how to send via http posts....for get it is easy in the querystring..

cosminb

have you at least looked at the code????

$requestData is the data that you wish to send
(Ex: $requestData="param1=2&param2=2")

It makes a POST request to the address $serverURL. If you don't know the differrence betwen POST and get find some information about HTTP

look at this thread : http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10244699&highlight=post
maybe it will help you understand better about how it works

last thing if you have 1 sec.

in your exemple :

$requestData="param1=2¶m2=2"

are you sure about this char : ¶ or is it |

thanks for all

I suspect it will be an ampersand (& or & amp; ).
