Posting Data - Easy Question

[Anon]

Please Help.

I need to use a PHP script to Post data directly to another www server.
Doing this with HTML is simple, but I do not want some of the fields to be passed to the web browser for security purposes.
Hence the user will compete a HTML form that will be posted to a PHP script which will in turn modify and add data and then post to the other www server.

What PHP commands would I need to use to be able to do this?

Ideas Please?????

Well in principle, all you need to do is to something like this (for the fastest implementation):

if (($fd = fopen("http://somesite.com/someform.php?user=".rawurlencode($user)."&company=".rawurlencode($company)) != 0) {
fclose($fd);
}

This is actually a form GET not POST. But you can do a form POST using fsockopen on port 80 to your destination. Check out http://www.php.net/fsockopen and fopen for more details.
