Re: PHP calling an ISAPI Extension

You meant imply, infer is when you draw a conclusion based on what one already knows. Imply on the other hand means something you expressed or stated indirectly. Sorry, that's just one thing I can't pass up correcting people on :(. "Jim Lucas" <lists@cmsws.com> wrote in message news:4677FC7E.9010709@cmsws.com...

I would normaly do it with an AJAX call but I need to do a post from WITHIN a PHP function, so when it's doing php stuff ex. function something() { echo 'whatever'; $response = post some data to a ISAPI Extension eg. post to http://domain.com/scripts/app.dll return $response .

[snip] I'm in need of a way to contact an ISAPI Extension from a PHP

function.

Does anyone know how I would be able to do this? Usually you

would post

a page to their URL/actionname. Can I do a POST from a PHP function without reloading the page, and get a result back? That's one tall order. Anyone want to give it a shot? [/snip] Do the POST with an AJAX call

perform an ajax call the a php script that calls curl to do a post to the ISAPI extension -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness,

The only method that I am aware of is the fsockopen method you mention in your other email -- Jim Lucas

Yes, and what's wrong with it?

where did I infer that their was something wrong with the fsockopen method?

<?php $post_data = "form_a=1&form_b=4"; $fp = fsockopen("www.domain.com",80); fwrite($fp,"POST /scripts/app.dll HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.domain.com\r\nContent-Length: ".strlen($post_data)."\r\n\r\n".$post_data); $result = fread($fp,102400); // Reads 100KB, change if you need more ?> That's not too long is it?
