Re: PHP Header to stimulate a POST method or POST string????

Groan!!! I get permission denied error for fsockopen()..... I looked around on the Internet and it narrow down to the temporary directory like "/tmp" for unix. I don't believe that is the problem because the $_SESSION feature work great without a problem. The file permission doesn't seem to be the problem because the directory folder is already at "dr-xr-xr-x", so not sure what the problem is exactly... Scott F.
