Maybe this example will help. This searches PHP's site for curl, outputting the HTTP content to the screen. When you are making a socket connection like this, you get the whole HTTP response, not just the content. This example uses an explode() to separate headers from content, which isn't very safe (if the content contains \r\n somewhere, it screws up), but it will probably work for you: <base href="http://www.php.net/";> <? $content = php_post("www.php.net", "/search.php", "lang=en_US&pattern=curl&show=manual"); echo $content; function php_post($host, $path, $data) { $http_response=""; $fp=fsockopen($host, 80); fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Content-Length: " . strlen($data)."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n"); fputs($fp, "$data"); while(!feof($fp)) { $http_response.=fgets($fp, 128); } fclose($fp); list($http_headers, $http_content) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $http_response); # This only returns the content - modify if you want to also return the headers return $http_content; } ?> Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
