RE: [PHP] Re: Putting $_POST into string to send to ASP
How about (probably one of fifty solutions; Foreach($_POST as $k = $v) $vals[] = $k.=.$v; $strvals = urlencode(implode(,$vals)); Header(Location: https://example.com/script.asp?.$strvals); One thing to think about, URL's are limited in length, and one reason for using method=post is that they won't fit in a URL, for this you'll need to make sure they fit.

You are absolutely correct, but I'm not sure that ASP could handle arrays
either.
On the other side Matt M.s processing should work better than mine;
foreach($_POST as $key = $value) {
$arr[] = $key.'='.urlencode($value);
}
I believe my loop may change the character to something it shouldn't?

RE: [PHP] Re: Putting $_POST into string to send to ASP
If the hack works, it should get around the length limitation of the URL, but I would be more tempted to use CURL for that. http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php Warren Vail Warren Vail (415) 667-0240 SF211-07-434 -Original Message- From: Jeff Oien [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 1:12 PM To: PHP Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: Putting $_POST into string to send to ASP Thanks for the helpful examples.

Jeff
As mentioned a couple of times, size is one. But you still need to
url-encode the data if you're going to send it via post.
?php
$data = array('item1' = 'value1', 'item2' = 'value2');
$query_string = http_build_query($data);
// Now, you can send the data either via post:
$response = http_post('www.example.com', '/form.php', $data);
// ...or via get:
header('http://www.example.com?form.php?' . $data);
?
The first lets your script grab the output of the form to which
you're submitting (it's in $response after the http_post() call);
the second actually loads and displays the target form.
Another option is cURL, which is designed for exactly this sort
of thing:
http://www.php.net/curl
...but it may or may not be overkill for what you need. However,
cURL pretty much rules the data posting/fetching game as far as
configurability etc.

RE: [PHP] Re: Putting $_POST into string to send to ASP
I believe we all missed something important here, but I've been wrong before. Notice his URL below, specifically the https part. I believe this means that the data not only needs to be URL encoded but SSL encrypted. I believe this makes a stronger case for using CURL, does it not? I also would mean that his hack code would not work. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Re: [PHP] Re: Putting $_POST into string to send to ASP
The client's vendor only specifies that it's field=data pairs and that it's URL encoded so I don't think that's an issue. But don't let that squelch any discussion. :) Jeff Oien Vail, Warren wrote: I believe we all missed something important here, but I've been wrong before.
