sending form post data

james

How can I have a php script send data to a URL as form post data from
within the script without creating an actual form in a web page.

I am working with an affiliate program (from Affiliateshop) and the
instructions are 'have your script send a form post with the name of the
form fields "AID" and "BID" and their values to the following URL string...'

Thanks

You are the first person to ask that question here... But not really:

You need PEAR class (http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Request)

require_once "Request/Request.php";
$req =& new HTTP_Request("{URL}/");
$req->addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
$req->addPostData("{vaiable}", "{value}");
....
if (!PEAR::isError($req->sendRequest())) {
$response1 = $req->getResponseBody();
} else {
$response1 = "";
}
