Google for "Rasmus Lerdorf" "function PostToHost"
It's a lot simpler than you'd think, actually.
You just fsockopen to port 80, compose a valid POST HTTP request and
write it out.
If you have file uploads in the original form, life gets slightly more
complex, as you have to compose a more complicated POST, I guess, but
it should still be a lot easier than you may be thinking.
