For the GET method, you can just use something like fopen() to open the URL. For the POST method, you can try something like this: <base href="http://www.php.net/"> <? $content = php_post("www.php.net", "/search.php", "lang=en_US&pattern=curl&show=manual"); echo $content; function php_post($host, $path, $data) { $http_response=""; $fp=fsockopen($host, 80); fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-Length: " . strlen($data)."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n"); fputs($fp, "$data"); while(!feof($fp)) { $http_response.=fgets($fp, 128); } fclose($fp); list($http_headers, (http_content) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $http_response); return $http_content; } ?> Chris
