Sending POST information

PatTheGreat42

Alrighty. Just to make sure everyone knows what I'm talking about, let's talk about forms. One of the options when setting up a form is to send the information using the POST method.

The question: Is there any way to send information using the POST method in PHP without using a form? Like, using a header or something? Thanks!

From PHP (Server-side!) you can use the cURL functions (if supported by your server).
Client-side you can use AJAX.

You could simply use the fsockopen function.

I would use curl as it is very secure, and allows you to post using the POST or GET methods, you can get the returned data and you are also able to log into a secured directory.
