Question

Hi I am new to php and want to know some alternate function for the header('location:mysit.php');

I am in a scenario that I am sending the request like this:

header('Location: http://localhost/(some external site).php'&?var='test')

something like this but what I wanna do is that I want to send values of variables to the external site but I actually dont want that page to pop out.

I mean variables should be sent to some external site/page but on screen I want to be redirected to my login page. But seemingly I dont know any alternative please guide me. Thx.

You are searching for PHP cUrl:

$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
