Re: PHP calling an ISAPI Extension

I modified your code to work with what I'm doing and this is what I got: $post_data = "name=wow&likes=true"; $fp = fsockopen("localhost",8080); fwrite($fp,"POST /Project1.dll HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nContent-Length: ".strlen($post_data)."\r\n\r\n".$post_data); $result = fread($fp,102400); // Reads 100KB, change if you need more echo $result; Now when I try that I get a "Bad Request invalid header name" error. I have an IIS server running localy on port 8080, the Project1.dll is in the root directory, it contains two input components 1 a textfield to type your name, the other a checkbox called likes. What's wrong? Here's it's code: <html> <head> <title>Learning ISAPI</title> </head> <h3>Learning ISAPI!</h3> <form name="isapiform" method="POST" action="/Project1.dll"> <strong>Please enter the following information</strong> <br>Name: <input type="text" name="name"> <br><input type="checkbox" name="likes" value="true" checked> I like ISAPI!<p> <input type="submit" value="View Output"> </form> </html> "Tijnema" <tijnema@gmail.com> wrote in message news:d8269d910706190041m6e5ee258wfb95336b9c362c60@mail.gmail.com...

I wish I could, I can't count on the script being on a linux machine. I also can't expect people to rebuild PHP with the curl library just to use my script.

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? <?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?
