Re: [PHP] Re: POST fields through CURL
Duh, yes, of course, I'm stupid - I forgot you were talking about Curl - I never used it so it may be the way you say it is. The piece of code I sent you was a part of what I used to build a full HTTP request (connecting to the server and sending it - everything done by hand), and Curl may be building the header instead. Curl *should* typically get the string preparsed though, so I may not be completely off with the code - but then again, I can't be certain. Sorry for the mishap!

RE: [PHP] Re: POST fields through CURL
Are you sure that the HTTP header should be on there? I don't believe that is correct. It is the use of CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS with the curl_setopt function that indicates that a POST is being made. I just checked the code I used for credit card clearing & it does NOT include the HTTP headers.

[PHP] Re: POST fields through CURL
Yes, the strings are formatted exactly like GET strings, but you'll have to build the whole HTTP header in front of them in order to get a valid HTTP request. So then, your code should look something like $myvar1=rawurlencode($myvar1); $myvar2=rawurlencode($myvar2); $parsed="myvar1=$myvar1&myvar2=$myvar2"; $len=strlen($parsed) $request="POST $request_path HTTP/1.0\r\n". "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n". "User-Agent: My PHP application v1.0\r\n". "Host: $host\r\n". "Content-Length: $len\r\n". "Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n". "\r\n". // This separates the header from the content $parsed; After that, you send $request.
