OK, I'm attempting this again:
header ( 'Location: ../test/test.php' );
sendByPost();
function sendByPost()
{
$host = "localhost";
$port = 80;
$postdata = "field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3";
if ($sp = fsockopen($host, $port)) {
fputs($sp,"POST /jotr/test/test.php HTTP/1.0\n");
fputs($sp,"Host: $host\n");
fputs($sp,"Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fputs($sp,"Content-length: ".strlen($postdata)."\n");
fputs($sp,"Connection: close\n\n");
fputs($sp,$postdata);
fclose($sp);
}
}
Pretty straight forward. Now here's the code for test.php:
$temp1 = $_POST['field1'];
$temp2 = $_POST['field2'];
$temp3 = $_POST['field3'];
print $temp1.' '.$temp2.' '.$temp3;
But the data is not posting:
Notice: Undefined index: field1 in c:\apache\htdocs\jotr\test\test.php
on line 3
Notice: Undefined index: field2 in c:\apache\htdocs\jotr\test\test.php
on line 4
Notice: Undefined index: field3 in c:\apache\htdocs\jotr\test\test.php
on line 5
WTF is going on, shouldn't this work?
