Let's ask this question in a different way. Let's say that I'd like to submit any form on the net... the only way to do it is: 1) Connect there using a browser; 2) insert infos in the form; 3) click the submit button. Imagine, that I'd like to do it in a "batch mode" (for example, inserting infos in a searching engine, without human support, maybe "crontab-ed" :-) )... The question could be: "is there a way to submit a form (POST form) using PHP3 to emulate a browser connection, sending all the values for the form fields, and of course, emulating the click on the submit button?" Sure... : function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) { $fp = fsockopen($host,80); fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n"); fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data_to_send)."\n"); fputs($fp, "Connection: close\n\n"); fputs($fp, $data_to_send); while(!feof($fp)) { echo fgets($fp, 128); } fclose($fp); } You would call this function with something like: PostToHost("www.whatever.com","/cgi-bin/whatever.cgi","abc=123&def=456"); Note that the data is encoded the same way you encode stuff when you put it in a url. You can use PHP's url_encode function for this if you want, or just do it manually like I did here. The function also echos back the result. You can of course choose not to do that if you want. | |||||
