Hi guys,
I need to send post variables to an ASP page. I have the following code which isn't producing any errors but isn't working either:

foreach($_POST['newsletter-group'] as $key => $value){ $_POST['addressbookid'] = $value; $out = "POST /signup.ashx"; $fp = fsockopen("dmtrk.net", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30); if (!$fp) { echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n"; } else { fputs($fp, $out . "\r\n"); } fclose($fp); }

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please?

there was just a thread on this within the past week.

IIRC ASP cant recive PHP $_POST variables but it can recive HTML post
from forms.

If you want to send variables to another language. You can try via a
get variable. Dont know if the items you want to send are safe to send
over though.

Hi Jay,

Unfortunately I don't have curl installed on my server.

Unless you can open a socket or a curl session you will not be able to
post values to a remote page. Curl is your best bet, can it be
installed?

It appears I was wrong, I do have cURL installed!

<?php
$result = false;

// I can't see in your example where you're building the POST data,
but here's an example
$postdata = 'var='.urlencode($value);

$fp = fsockopen('dmtrk.net', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp)
{
$result = 'Connection failed: ['.$errno.'] '.$errstr;
}
else
{
fwrite($fp, "POST /signup.ashx HTTP/1.1\n");
fwrite($fp, "Connection: close\n");
fwrite($fp, "Host: dmtrk.net\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Length: ".strlen($postdata)."\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fwrite($fp, "\n".$postdata."\n");

// Get the status
$response = fgets($fp);
$result = (strpos($response, ' 200 ') !== false);

// Read the rest of the response
while (!feof($fp))
{
$response .= fgets($fp);
}
@fclose($fp);

if (!$result) $result = $response;
}

// At this point $result will either be === true or it will contain an
error message

// Please don't ask a question again without doing a reasonable amount
of research first. In this case that would be the HTTP spec and the
PHP socket function documentation. This was not difficult!

In that case I'll amend my earlier answer to the following...

<?php
// I can't see in your example where you're building the POST data,
but here's an example
$postdata = 'var='.urlencode($value);

if (function_exists('curl_init'))
{
// Do it with CURL
$curl_handle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://dmtrk.net/signup.ashx')
;
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
$result = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
}
elseif (function_exists('fsockopen'))
{
$fp = fsockopen('dmtrk.net', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp)
{
$result = 'Connection failed: ['.$errno.'] '.$errstr;
}
else
{
fwrite($fp, "POST /signup.ashx HTTP/1.1\n");
fwrite($fp, "Connection: close\n");
fwrite($fp, "Host: dmtrk.net\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Length: ".strlen($postdata)."\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fwrite($fp, "\n".$postdata."\n");

// Get the status
$response = fgets($fp);
$result = (strpos($response, ' 200 ') !== false);

// Read the rest of the response
while (!feof($fp))
{
$response .= fgets($fp);
}
@fclose($fp);

if (!$result) $result = $response;
}
}
else
{
die('No suitable mechanism for POSTing available.');
}
?>

Note that I've not tested this at all, but it should work. Also it
would be better wrapped up in a function, but unfortunately I have
real work to do today.
