Re: [PHP] Opening a socket and sending GET data

[Todd Cary]

Chris -

Before PHP 4 came out, I needed to branch to a page from within the code (I know you can now cache the page).  So, I have many applications out there using my POST version which has work flawlessly.  Then I decided that in some cases, I would like to use the GET (saves me checking to see if the variables are either POST or GET).

Here is how I call the POST and GETS.  The use of "bounce" comes from my experience using WebHub, an NT based system for high performance.

  /* Bounce to a page using POST */
  function bounce_post($server, $path, $url, $page, $info) {
    $http = new http;

    $fp = $http->http_fpost($server, $path . $page, $info);
    if($fp) {
      print '<BASE HREF="' . $url . $page . '"><p>';
      fpassthru($fp);
    };
  }

  /* Bounce to a page using GET */
  function bounce_get($server, $path, $url, $page, $info) {
    $http = new http;

    $fp = $http->http_fget($server, $path . $page, $info);
    if($fp) {
      print '<BASE HREF="' . $url . $page . '"><p>';
      fpassthru($fp);
    };
  }

Your request looks fine. What are you doing with $query once you have
constructed it?

Another question worth asking is what is your ultimate goal here? I'm
not sure performing a manual request is necessary, but  maybe it is.
