RE: [PHP] RTFM me.... Point me in the right direction...

Have you looked at the cUrl libraries. Curl supports posts / gets etc. (php4.0 and up though /php 3 through external calls) There was an article on php builder a while ago about it. -----Original Message----- From: Dallas Kropka [mailto:dallask@firstworld.net] Sent: December 1, 2000 05:01 AM To: Joe Stump Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] RTFM me.... Point me in the right direction... Sorry guys, Its late here, and Im out of Jolt.... What Im trying to do is to make a secure connection to the Authorize.net Credit Card Processing server. There is a specific DLL file that I need to access on that server, and it is necessary to pass the variables to the server through the URL which they will only allow if I have a secure connection. But I don't know how to do this... The only other way I could do it is if someone has / or knows of a simple way to submit a POST ...... without an action from the user. I need to process and check the information before I send it to the server... and I don't want to have to make the user hit submit 2x, because that will force me to place variables in hidden fields which could compromise the data, or my service. (IE, the Authorize login name which must be in the post). If I could change authorization providers I would, but it is for a client that is hell bent to stay.... so.... how do I do either of these things: A) make a secure connection with a server for this purpose? or B)Submit information via a POST after processing and without a form? Hope that helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joe Stump" <joe@earth.care2.com> To: "Dallas Kropka" <dallask@firstworld.net> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 10:31 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] RTFM me....
