Posting to another URL

[djones5]

Any help from the gods is appreciated.

I can cut and paste the following into my browser URL address and have
the script execute no problem:

http://subdomain.domain.com/log?amou...orderid=123456

the domain is another site. How can I run a php script on my server
that will essentially post the above, but within my php script?

As always, help from the gods is appreciated.

look up documentation on curl. I'm not quite sure what yo u are trying
to do, but here is a sample that sends data to a payment gateway and
awaits a response:
note: not all servers support curl.

// your data - separated with &
$fields = "amount=10.00&orderid=123456";
$url = "https://domain.com/where_you_want_to_post.asp";

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
// after you post your data, the server response will be stored in the
$response variable

If you don't have CURL installed on your server, you can make a socket
call with the POST method:

// postToHost.php
// Sample of posting to a local or remote server
// Written by Rasmus Lerdorf

// ---------------------------------------------
//Use fsockopen to send the data:
$host = "your.host";
$port = 80;
$postdata = "field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3";
if ($sp = fsockopen($host, $port)) {
fputs($sp,"POST /path/to/script.php HTTP/1.0\n");
fputs($sp,"Host: $host\n");
fputs($sp,"Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fputs($sp,"Content-length: ".strlen($postdata)."\n");
fputs($sp,"Connection: close\n\n");
fputs($sp,$postdata);
fclose($sp);
}

I don't know why people keep suggesting CURL or socket when there is a
standard way to do a post in PHP: a stream context.

I know why. It's because streams is a post 4.3 feature -- I didn't know
about it. I ought to keep up with things.
