Re: Re: POST fields through CURL

Duh, yes, of course, I'm stupid - I forgot you were talking about Curl - I never used it so it may be the way you say it is. The piece of code I sent you was a part of what I used to build a full HTTP request (connecting to the server and sending it - everything done by hand), and Curl may be building the header instead. Curl *should* typically get the string preparsed though, so I may not be completely off with the code - but then again, I can't be certain. Sorry for the mishap! Bogdan Jonathan Rosenberg wrote:

Are you sure that the HTTP header should be on there? I don't believe that is correct. It is the use of CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS with the curl_setopt function that indicates that a POST is being made. I just checked the code I used for credit card clearing & it does NOT include the HTTP headers. Just the POST data.

So then, your code should look something like $myvar1=rawurlencode($myvar1); $myvar2=rawurlencode($myvar2); $parsed="myvar1=$myvar1&myvar2=$myvar2"; $len=strlen($parsed) $request="POST $request_path HTTP/1.0\r\n".

         "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n".
         "User-Agent: My PHP application v1.0\r\n".
         "Host: $host\r\n".
         "Content-Length: $len\r\n".
         "Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n".
         "\r\n".         // This separates the header from the content
         $parsed;

After that, you send $request. Bogdan Mike Mannakee wrote:

Hi all, I'm setting up a curl operation with post fields, and I'm

hoping someone can

tell me how the post fields are formatted. I'm looking to pass

a string to

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $string), but the

specifications don't

tell one HOW to format the string. Is it just like a GET

string or what?

Anyone know? Thanks, Mike
