Re: HTTP post without using form fields

If this is what you want to do --> 1. User fills out some information in a form. 2. Data from user is passed to PHP script. 3. PHP manipulates/appends information to the data provided. 4. PHP posts the completed data to ANOTHER script (which would be non-local in most cases, or if you're posting to a cgi, or whatever. ie- http://zippy.com/cgi-bin/takemydataplease.cgi) There are 2 possible ways to do this. It depends if you need SSL or not. If you do not need SSL there is a class on the PHP Code Exchange that will do standard posts. However, if you need to use SSL (https:// connection) than the only option is using a nifty little program called cURL. You must compile it on the server with openssl. It can then be exec() out of PHP and return what the results from the post are (if any). ----- Original Message ----- From: Krznaric Michael <mkrznaric@rand.com> To: 'Adrian Ionescu' <adi@perfect4.net>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, December 18, 2000 4:19 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] HTTP post without using form fields > Hi, > > Scan the archives, there was a small script posted which allows you > to open an http connection to another page and post the variables. > > Mike > > -----Original Message----- > From: Adrian Ionescu [mailto:adi@perfect4.net] > Sent: Monday, December 18, 2000 9:33 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] HTTP post without using form fields > > > > Hello everyone, > > Can somebody help me sending received $HTTP_POST_VARS to another page > without using hidden form fields? > > I have an user input form, then I want to change dinamicaly form's action > attribute by using an invisible php page (using window.location in > javascript). > This is the second time I need this think, last time was for validation > purposes. > > regards, > Adi Ionescu <adi@perfect4.net> > > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net > >
