Hope this helps -- Joe <? function process_submission($request,$rsf) { $request = substr($request,0,strlen($request)-1); print("Request: " . $request . "<br>\n"); // Build the header $tgt = substr($rsf["target_url"],strpos($rsf["target_url"],"/" ,7)); print("Target: " . $tgt . "<br>\n"); flush(); if (strtoupper($rsf["target_method"])=="POST") { $header = "POST " . $tgt . " HTTP/1.0\r\n"; $header .= "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"; $header .= "Content-length: " . strlen($request) . "\r\n\r\n"; } else { $header = "GET " . $tgt . "?" . $request . " HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"; }; print("Header: " . $header . "<br>\n"); flush(); // Open the connection $host = substr($rsf["target_url"],7,strpos($rsf["target_url"],"/" ,7) - 7); print("Host: " . $host . "<br><hr>\n"); flush(); $fp = fsockopen($host, 80, &$err_num, &$err_msg, 30); if ($fp) { // Send everything if (strtoupper($rsf["target_method"])=="POST") { fputs($fp, $header . $request); } else { fputs($fp, $header); }; // Get the response print("Response:<br><hr>\n"); flush(); while (!feof($fp)) { $response = fgets($fp, 128); print($response); flush(); }; print("<br><hr>\n"); flush(); }; };
