    Hi

    I'm trying to post using http headers here is what I got:

    
$data = urlencode($data);

header("POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n" );
header("Host: $host\r\n" );
header("Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n" );
header("Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n" );
header("Connection: close\r\n\r\n" );
header($data);
    PHP:
    When this code runs, I get a save as "file.php" dialog for some reason.

    I need to post this data and be redirected to $host/$path (just like when a user submits a form).

    Is this possible? How?

    Thanks

    <?php
$post = Array();
$post[1] = urlencode('test1');
$post[2] = urlencode('test2');
$post[3] = urlencode('test3');

$curl = curl_init("post.php");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

header('Location: ');

?>
