Question

I want send some data to a remote webpage from my site. Actually it can be achieved through form hidden variables. but for security reason, i want set as post variables in header and then send to that webpage. i use this code

$post_data = 'var1=123&var2=456';

$content_length = strlen($post_data);

header('POST http://localhost/testing/test.php HTTP/1.1');

header('Host: localhost');

header('Connection: close');

header('Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

header('Content-length: ' . $content_length); 

header($post_data);

but my code doesn’t work properly.
help me…

Answer 1

POST data forms the body of an HTTP request, it isn’t a header, and the header method is used in making HTTP responses.

askapache has an example of making a POST request from PHP using the curl library.
