No post data is being sent, It should be ...
curl_setopt($imgurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'datastuff='.$datastuff);

Hello,
Hopefully, this is not off-topic. I have a couple of html image tags
such as <img src="/path/to/file.php" /> on a single web page, and each
such tag points to an image creating php file that sends out image
headers and image data after receiving certain data parameters through
POST. I am unable to figure out how to send POST data to a URL path
that
is embedded inside an img tag (...and not even sure if that is indeed
the right way to do it).
I need to use POST since there is a limitation on the length of the
GET
vars. I tried using curl (never used it before and just learnt
about it)
to replace the entire img tag...something like this:
$imgurl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($imgurl, CURLOPT_URL, '/path/to/file.php');
curl_setopt($imgurl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($imgurl, CURLOPT_POST,'datastuff='.$datastuff);
curl_exec($imgurl);
curl_close($imgurl);
Nothing much happens if I do that. I know I can avoid this approach by
simply using session variables but I am curious if there is an
alternative approach to this. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Nefertitian.
