CURL

Post from submissions with PHP

Nice little snip I got from here


<?php
 
//create array of data to be posted
$post_data['firstName'] = 'Name';
$post_data['action'] = 'Register';
 
//traverse array and prepare data for posting (key1=value1)
foreach ( $post_data as $key => $value) {
    $post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
}
 
//create the final string to be posted using implode()
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
 
//create cURL connection
$curl_connection =
  curl_init('http://www.domainname.com/target_url.php');
 
//set options
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,
  "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
 
//set data to be posted
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
 
//perform our request
$result = curl_exec($curl_connection);
 
//show information regarding the request
print_r(curl_getinfo($curl_connection));
echo curl_errno($curl_connection) . '-' .
                curl_error($curl_connection);
 
//close the connection
curl_close($curl_connection);
 
?>
