POst in a serverside way

[RicercatoreSbadato]

Hi all,
I have to make a post in php but from the server (serverside).

I've though to use the system("wget ..");

but surely exist others solutions... which?

You could use sockets to connect to the webserver. Take a look at
fsockopen.

Google "post2host" . Functions and usernotes to refer: fsockopen,
fopen & curl.

Creating your own HTTP stack is not trivial, although it is the only
way to solve certain types of problem (not this one though). Having
said that I did it and it run approximately 10x faster than starting up
an instance of the curl program (similar to wget).

The fastest and simplest solution is to use the libcurl extension.

If you need to be able to handle redirection and cookies, IIRC there is
a project on Sourceforge called snoopy which might serve you better.

Hi,

Look up CURL at www.php.net.

CURL let you add name/value pairs and will produce a 'real post', as if
posted by a browser.

Have fun!
