Hello. I would like to post to a form using php. I dont mean make a form and then have it post to a php script, I mean being able to post information to another php script from my php script. I think this has something to do with curl?

this should get you started:

Code: Select all

$url = "http://www.EXAMPLE.com/folder/file.php";	//Url to php file
$vars = "var1=val1&var2=val2&var3=val3";		//Post variables with values
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $data;		//This will be what ever the php file returns.
