It appears I was wrong, I do have cURL installed!

In that case I'll amend my earlier answer to the following... <?php // I can't see in your example where you're building the POST data, but here's an example $postdata = 'var='.urlencode($value); if (function_exists('curl_init')) { // Do it with CURL $curl_handle = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://dmtrk.net/signup.ashx'); curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30); curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata); $result = curl_exec($curl_handle); curl_close($curl_handle); } elseif (function_exists('fsockopen')) { $fp = fsockopen('dmtrk.net', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) {

    $result = 'Connection failed: ['.$errno.'] '.$errstr;

} else {

    fwrite($fp, "POST /signup.ashx HTTP/1.1\n");
    fwrite($fp, "Connection: close\n");
    fwrite($fp, "Host: dmtrk.net\n");
    fwrite($fp, "Content-Length: ".strlen($postdata)."\n");
    fwrite($fp, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
    fwrite($fp, "\n".$postdata."\n");

    // Get the status
    $response = fgets($fp);
    $result = (strpos($response, ' 200 ') !== false);

    // Read the rest of the response
    while (!feof($fp))
    {
      $response .= fgets($fp);
    }
    @fclose($fp);

    if (!$result) $result = $response;

} } else { die('No suitable mechanism for POSTing available.'); } ?> Note that I've not tested this at all, but it should work. Also it would be better wrapped up in a function, but unfortunately I have real work to do today. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
