You would try this function (from Rasmus Lerdorf)
function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) {
$fp = fsockopen($host,80);
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data_to_send)."\n");
fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n");
fputs($fp, $data_to_send);
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
with $data_to_send = "formfield1=myfieldvalue1&formfield2=myfieldvalue2";
