PHP Question - fopen() + http + post data

[Retro2001]

I've yet to figure out the right search string to coax this data out of google or php.net, so I'll try you guys. Is there a way to submit postdata when requesting a file via http via the fopen() function?

What I'm trying to do:
Send some data via POST to an ASP script, then pull some data out of the returned page. Any ideas?

Peace,
will

AFAIK, and I've been doing php for a while now. Using fopen(), you cannot do it. You are also in the wrong forum...and I mean you're NOT EVEN CLOSE to the right forum. Like, if I threw a rock at OT from a mile away with both arms tied behind my back, I wouldn't be as far as you.

In any event you want fsockopen() to open an http connection and send the post request manually. Then read the input. Should be like 30-40 lines of code really.

Good to hear that I'm in the wrong neck of the woods 😉. Although, I've gotten answers for much more obscure questions here before....something about the 1000 geeks / hour that this place pulls 🙂. I'll go hit up php.net for fsocketopen() info. I was secretly hoping that there was a way to just pass a simple array of data to fopen().

Peace,
will

That's fsockopen(). Not fsocketopen().

and it's 4000 geeks/hour.

I suck at the whole reading <--> typing conversion Google Groups found me what I need.

Thanks,
