RE: [PHP-DB] https post via php

The only way I can think of doing this is via cURL, so you'll need to either have the hosting company recompile their PHP with cURL (something any decent hosting company should do - it's not a difficult process), or have them provide an external curl module (like an .so file) so you can use the dl() function load it, which is basically the same as having curl compiled, but a tiny bit slower. Or you could also install the command-line version of cURL or any other https posting 3rd-party programs and have PHP use the command-line tools to post to https, but there's no other way that I know of. - Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: mailing list [mailto:mailing_list@BNFUSA.com] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 6:39 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] https post via php Hello, I am attempting to POST to a https://whatever.url.com server and return the result from the server into the script without the user knowing using a php script. I can not use CURL becuase the shared server I have hosting this site was not compiled -with-curl. I downloaded HTTP_POST PHP script from: http://px.sklar.com/code.html?code_id=313. Here is my code that I am using to call the functions: <?php require('classes2.php'); //instantiate class http_post $a = new http_post; //define variables $a->set_server("onlinechecks.interceptcorporation.com"); $a->set_port("443"); $a->set_file("/icolc/short.cgi"); $a->set_action("https://onlinechecks.interceptcorporation.com/icolc/short.cg i"); $a->set_enctype("application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); $a->set_element(array("MEN" => "789","MPA" => "456", "MID" => "7015","CRO" => "123456780","CAC" => "123123123", "CPH" => "17015551212","PAM" => "12.34")); $a->set_timeout(20); $a->show_post(); $a->send($display=1); ?> Here is the result returned from the browser: Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.
