Thread: Simulating a POST request
Hi : How do I simulate a POST request using the "header()" function? Thank you very much. ludwig lim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
header(); in PHP is for the output header. It cannot be used to create a POST type HTTP request. you must use socket(); or the CURL to have your PHP script do an HTTP POST style request. There are some samples on the PHP site in the socket and curl sections of the manual.

You can do that easily enough, without the header() function. Just build a form with a <body onload=document.formname.submit()> tag at the top, and a form with all the data you need in hidden fields and a post method.
