Here is the PHP function to execute a HTTP post using the PHP CURL.
<?php
function curl_http_post($url, $fields = array())
//url-ify the data for the POST
foreach($fields as $key=>$value)
$fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&';
rtrim($fields_string,'&');
//open connection
$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);
//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
//close connection
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
?>
Example of usage:
<?php
//CURL target
$url = ' http://domain.com/get-post.php';
//set POST variables
$fields = array(
'name'=>urlencode($last_name),
'address'=>urlencode($address)
);
echo curl_http_post($url, $fields);
?>
