Need to Post Form Data via HTTP....

[miguelc]

Hey all,

I have a php based form that works well - and emails the results of the form via email (managed via a processor.php file).  I want to modify the processor.php to post the data to a URL as this example:

########
firstName=John&lastName=Doe&spouseFirstName=Jane&spouseLastName=Doe&homePhone=09808080&workPhone=09809809&cellPhone=098098&email=jdoe@testdomain.com&loanAmount=097798798&loanType=Refinance&propertyType=Single+Family&propertyValue=75000&creditScore=Excellent&postedDate=&URL=http://www.domainname.com/index.xxx
#########

What do I need to change in the processor.php file to post to a URL vs Email as it is today?  Here's the contents of processor.php file below...willing to throw some money via paypal to get this going...

Here is an example how you can post 2 fields, you can guess how to add all your other fields
Note: replace yourdomain.com, yourdir and yourscript.php in the code below with your values.

PHP Code: [Select]

<?php

$url = 'www.yourdomain.com';

$fp = fsockopen($url, 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
  echo 'Could not open connection.';
}
else {

  $vars = "firstName=".$_POST['field_1']."&lastName=".$_POST['field_2'];
  $contentlength = strlen($vars);

  $out = "POST /yourdir/yourscript.php HTTP/1.0\r\n";
  $out .= "Host: ".$url."\r\n";
  $out .= "Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n";
  $out .= "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
  $out .= "Content-length: $contentlength\r\n\r\n";
  $out .= $vars;

  fwrite($fp, $out);
  while (!feof($fp)) {
    $theOutput .= fgets($fp, 128);
  }
  fclose($fp);

  // use the value below to see response of script where you posted data
  //echo $theOutput;
}
