Request: Send a blank email to php-general+get-209584@lists.php.net to get a copy of this message
Hello! I send the parameters from one php script to another via POST method. The solution works (see example below) but the receiver page loads ONLY if I include the echo $c; command after send_host (see PROBLEM!!! line). Otherwise a blank page loads without any error messages. The problem is same with Microsoft-IIS/5.1-PHP/5.0.3 and Apache/2.0.51-PHP/4.3.10... What can I do to get rid of this? Thanks! Vallo function send_host($host,$path,$query,$others=''){ $d="POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: $host\r\nContent-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n${others}User-Agent: Mozilla 4.0\r\nContent-length: ".strlen($query)."\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n$query"; if (!$h = fsockopen($host,80)) { return -1; } else { stream_set_timeout($h,10); } if (fputs($h,$d) === FALSE) { return -2; } else { $r = '';
	        while(!feof($h)) {
       	    $r .= fgets($h, 128);
} } if (fclose($h) === FALSE) { return -3; } else { return $r; } } /* ... */ $c = send_host("$host_name","$redirect","$par"); if ($c < 0) { echo "<B>ERROR $c</B>"; } else { echo $c; /* PROBLEM!!! */ }
