Sending a GET request and getting the response using fsockopen.

[Aetherweb]

Hi,

I need to use fsockopen to open a connection, send a GET request and
read in the response. At the moment I'm trying the following code, but
I think it's ignoring the actual URL included in the $request
variable.

$host = "www.myhost.com ";
$request = "/myurl.php?param 1=1&param2=2&pa ram3=3";

$fp = fsockopen($host , 80, $errno, $errstr, 3.0);

if ($fp)
{
# Send the get request then, with timeout...
fwrite($fp, "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n" .
"Host: $host\r\n".
"Connection : close\r\n".
"Content-Length: " . strlen($request ) . "\r\n" .
"\r\n" .
$request);

stream_set_time out($fp, 2, 0);

$response = '';
while (!feof($fp))
{
$response .= fread($fp, 1024);
}

print $response . "<BR>\n";
fclose($fp);
}


What am I doing wrong?

Thank you!!

$request);

The first line of the GET request needs to include the query string, as
far as I know. Instead of using "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n", try inserting
$request in place of / after GET.

"GET $request HTTP/1.0\r\n" .
