Re: Sending post data from a script

Hello, on 08/05/2005 04:33 PM Paul Nowosielski said the following:

I'm trying to setup a PHP script that will send a POST data request to a web form. The script needs to be automatic and not driven by a web form. For example. I have a cron script that runs every 15 minutes. The cron script calls my php script on the server and sends the important data to a web based form without human interaction. The data has to be passed with the method="post". Sending the data via a URL request does not suffice. So my question in general is: How can I send HTTP POST data to a remote interface without using an HTML FORM?.

You may want to take a look at this HTTP client class. Besides submitting POST form values, it also handles redirection and cookies if necessary. http://www.phpclasses.org/httpclient -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html
