Re: Syntax for CURL

The script below is working fine for me: $data2send = "field1=value1&field2=value2"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.postside.com/postpage"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "https://www.yoursite.com/"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data2send); $result=curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); You can find meanings of options at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php Some guidelines for options: USERAGENT is sometimes necessary on some sites as they do not let you connect if your browser is not known. FOLLOWLOCATION is necessary for following redirects on posting page. You can find others easily.
