Re: [PHP] submit to a remote form without the use of curl?? Is it possible?
Stupid me completely forgot about the socket functions in PHP. Again, that's what I get for having too little coffee last night.

I am developing an application on a hosting server that does not have curl available and I need to submit some values to a remote form. Anybody ever do something like this without the use of curl? It's quite possible you can use fsockopen() to do this manually (RFC 2616) or you can make use of any of the classes available for free. in some platforms you might find the POST binary which makes things a lot easier.

I'm assuming you want to POST a form verses a GET, since you can
easily do a GET form submission like:
$fp = fopen('http://domain.com/?get=var', 'r');
in PHP5 you can accomplish this using the new zcontext parameter:
$postdata = 'foo=bar';
$contextConf = array(
'http' = array (
'method' = 'POST',
'header' = Content-Length: . strlen($postdata) . \r\n,
'content' = $postdata
),
);
$zcontext = stream_context_create($contextConf);
$fp = fopen('http://domain.com/', 'r', $zcontext);
