Re: Problem with fopen and sending POST vars

There are a couple examples of manually sending POST data via fsockopen() on: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.fsockopen.php Basically the stucture is the same as URL "GET" variables but you have to send the header data manually and set content-type to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded". But you still end up sneding data in this form: "var1=value1&var2=value2&var3=value3" (hence the "urlencoded" part). Good luck! -TG = = = Original message = = = Hello everyone! I have a problem sending POST vars via fopen. It was possible for me to send some xml data but that's all. Anyone know how to send POST vars? Big probleme here is also that i have to connect via SSL. Many thanks for any help. Greetings ~Barry Here is my code: <? # generating xml for testing $request_data = "<xml><data>blablubb</data></xml>"; # array with the options to create stream context $opts = Array(); # compose HTTP request header $header .= "User-Agent: PHP Script\\r\\n"; $header .= "Content-Type: text/xml\\r\\n"; $header .= "Content-Length: ".strlen($request_data)."\\r\\n"; $header .= "Connection: close"; # define context options for HTTP request $opts['http']['method'] = 'POST'; $opts['http']['header'] = $header; $opts['http']['content'] = $request_data; # create stream context $context = stream_context_create($opts); $fp = fopen ("https://easy-demo.tcinternet.de/hosting/servlet/Dispatcher","r",false,$context); if (!$fp) echo "error"; else $vars= explode ("&",stream_get_contents($fp)); foreach ($vars as $key => $value) $var = explode ("=", $value); $tcph[$var[0]] = urldecode($var[1]); print_r($tcph); ?> ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
