Getting the HTTP response code that is sent via a cell phone

[jl]

I have a J2ME cell phone application that via the AMS (Application
Manager) delivers a status report to my server indicating whether the
suite was successfully installed and identifying the reason for failure
if it was not.

This report takes the form of a status code and a status message that
is sent using an HTTP POST request to the URL given by the
MIDlet-Install-Notify attribute in the JAD file.

I'm having a hard time finding out how to get to the HTTP POST request
status code that is sent to the server from the cell phone.

All of the examples that I see for request, response, originate from
the server. But I don't have a "hook". For example, the following code
has the $url variable to pass to file_get_conten ts. :

$contents = file_get_conten ts($url);

However, in my case, the server is just receiving the code but it is
not originating the communication.

Will someone please post the PHP code for this or at least a few hints
as to how to begin?

Thanks,
jl

Not being 100% sure of your exact needs (cell phones are way too
complicated for me xD) I may suggest cURL functions:

http://www.php.net/curl

For instance, curl_getinfo() has the "CURLINFO_HTTP_ CODE" option that
allows you to get the "Last received HTTP code". In any case, if it has to
do with HTTP and you can't do it with curl, bad thing ;-)

If it's sent as part of a POST request it should be in the $_POST array.

But why guess? Why not just ask the people who developed AMS how they
do it?
