Question

I am supposed to capture data from a form and send the data to a url on a different server.For eg:-I have a form on a page at the url http://www.form.com/register.php.
I capture all the data from this form and for some reason need this data to be processed on a page on another server at http://www.thereceivingpage.com/process.php.

As of now I am using headers to redirect with the parameters in the query string something like this:-Header(Location:http://www.thereceivingpage.com/process.php?name=alice&address=a1&address2=a2) but I need to send a larger amount of data which wont happen as GET request. Can anyone suggest a better way where in I can post data rather than the data in the query string …thanks

Use cURL. If you have to redirect to the site, it gets a bit trickier but you can still do it. You can get the cookie and redirect information back from the site and then do a GET redirect using header.
