background POST

Post by alghayn »

I'm curious as to how I can perform a background POST on a UNIX system using PHP. I don't know much about what a background POST actually is, so ANY information would be helpful. I'm trying to pass 5 variables to a particular URL and was told that a regular HTML Form POST wouldn't work, and that I had to use a background POST.
Thanks!

You'll want to look up CURL in the PHP manual. It'll allow to make formless posts.

I knew it had to do with CURL! (See this post: viewtopic.php?p=270914#270914) but I looked at the manual and for some reason can't figure out how to use it. I am a pretty advanced php and mysql programmer.
