GET is easy, because you can just use fopen to open a remote URL just as
if it were a local file, so long as this is set in your php.ini:
allow_url_fopen = On
As for POST, there are a number of options. You can use cURL, any of the
PEAR classes that allow you to make HTTP requests, or you can do it
manually:

Hope that helps.
