PHP - Send Post information

Hello,

First, my topic is not about how to get $_POST data.

My problem is sending $_POST data, without using an form (or any html at all), and I don’t want to use $_GET.

I read various articles about how to let PHP send $_POST data, but until now, none of them work.
Either I get a “Service Temporarily Unavailable” error, or nothing happens and it shows a blank page.

My code until now (from ), showing a blank page:
[php]<?php
function do_post_request($url, $data, $optional_headers = null)
{
$params = array(‘http’ => array(
‘method’ => ‘POST’,
‘content’ => $data
));
if ($optional_headers !== null) {
$params[‘http’][‘header’] = $optional_headers;
}
$ctx = stream_context_create($params);
$fp = @fopen($url, ‘rb’, false, $ctx);
if (!$fp) {
throw new Exception(“Problem with $url, $php_errormsg”);
}
$response = @stream_get_contents($fp);
if ($response === false) {
throw new Exception(“Problem reading data from $url, $php_errormsg”);
}
return $response;
}
$url = ‘http://www.daltonshareware.bugs3.com/default.php’;
$data = array(‘http’ => array(
‘error’ => ‘403’
));
do_post_request($url, $data, $optional_headers)
?>

[/php]

So I want it to redirect to ‘http://www.daltonshareware.bugs3.com/default.php’, sending the $_POST data “error = 403”. (This should no be visible in the URL, so no $_GET)

Thanks in advance,

Isaiah

Its going to show in the address box unless you’re using mod rewrite - no way around it that I know of. you’re missing a ; at the of the function call.

You can send post data using cURL
