Re: POST without POSTing

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I'm not even sure how to search in the archives for it. I have a form that collects certain info via POST. It is re-entrant, so when the user hits the "submit" button, it checks the input and does whatever sanity checks it needs to. If all is okay, it must now pass some of that info to another URL (offsite) via POST. Normally, the information would be passed via a series of GET variables or SESSION variables. But in this case the site the user is being directed to must receive the information via POST. I'm not sure how to do this. Please no exotic external libraries my shared hosting provider doesn't include. RTFM will be fine; just tell me which Fine Manual to Read. Paul

Answering in general to a lot of the above responses. You don't need to care if the 'foreign' host supports fsockopen or curl, only if your form hosting host does. (Boy that looks more confusing in re-read than it felt writing it ;D ... ) To the foreign redirect target, both curl and fsockopen are supposed to look like a browser hitting the site. So if your site allows curl or fsockopen, then you're golden. jeff
