The posted form data is processed on the other server, the results should be returned or captured by the first server. Obviously my brain is not working.

You can use fopen() and contexts: (mostly copied from php|architect, May 2004, www.phparch.com) $data = ''; foreach($_POST as $key=>$value) { $data .= $key.'='.urlencode($value).'&'; } $opts = array( 'http' => array(

    'method' => 'POST',
    'header' => "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n" .
                'Content-Length: '.strlen($data),
    'content' => $data

)); $context = stream_context_create($opts); $fp = fopen('http://localhost/post.php', 'r', false, $context); -- ---John Holmes... Amazon Wishlist: www.amazon.com/o/registry/3BEXC84AB3A5E/ php|architect: The Magazine for PHP Professionals – www.phparch.com
