RE: [PHP] HTTP POST Question

Hi I read a article about posting data .. and there was a script but I dont know resource of this script. But this is working. let me give you a example <?php // Posting function function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) { $fp = fsockopen($host,80); fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n"); fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data_to_send)."\n"); fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n"); fputs($fp, $data_to_send); while(!feof($fp)) { echo fgets($fp, 128); } fclose($fp); } $host = "cgiserver.x.com"; // target server $path = "/cgi-bin/target.cgi"; // cgi's name $string = "value1=value1&value2=value2" ; // There can be more value PostToHost("$host","$patha","$string"); // call the function ?> -----Original Message----- From: Montgomery-Recht, Evan [mailto:evan.montgomery-recht@lmco.com] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2001 2:06 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] HTTP POST Question Good morning... This should be a good monday morning question. I have a cgi-bin written in perl (it's actually, a interface to a perl-module which is a interface to a telnet-like protocol). Anyways what I need to do is I have already existing code written in PHP, but at some point I need to call this cgi-bin and get a return code from it and process (good/bad result) and return to completed php script that says it called this cgi-bin. It's not very clear how to set the HTTP_POST_VARS for sending to a post command (which doesn't seem to exist); Any ideas I don't see a function called: $HTTP_POST_VARS =set variables; $result = http_post("http://localhost/cgi-bin/script.pl"); Thanks, evan PS. I'd appricate a working example, even if it's a dummy version. -- 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
