Re: Vars in URL

O.K. I found this at php.net but it doesn't seem to bring up the paypal page. I guess I am trying to simulate a form POST using headers. Any ideas??? $paypal_vars is an array of the vars and values that paypal needs. foreach($paypal_vars as $key => $value) { $value = urlencode(stripslashes($value)); $req .= "&$key=$value"; } $req = substr($req, 1, strlen($req) - 1); $header .= "POST www.paypal.com HTTP/1.0\r\n"; $header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"; $header .= 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n"; $fp = fsockopen (/xclick/, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); if(!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)"; } else { fputs($fp, $header . $req); while(!feof($fp)) { $res = fgets ($fp, 1024); } fclose ($fp); } Thanks!
