To emulate a post you'll have to do something similar to the following
header "POST /index.php3 HTTP/1.1";
header "Host: $host";
header "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ;
header "Content-length: ". strlen ($data);
header "Connection: close\n\n"; //may only need one, can't remember if
header postpends \n
//Now print variables
//var1=information&var2=more
//for each var to submit
header "$$var1=$var1&$$var2=$var2";
or
function PostToHost($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
Cheers,
Lawrence.

Header () is for altering the HTTP headers sent back to the browser. Read
some HTTP intro. Regarding your problem - have a look into sessions. they
might be what you want.
