Users make entries into a form on my site which are then sent to a remote server which generates a variable length page of results for the users perusal. I want the results to be displayed on my site but I discover that iframe height is a problem so I am trying PHP in a separate file to avoid an iframe. Then maybe I can cache the result pages and display them without any height difficulties and not having to fiddle with javascript.
The first PHP code I try is prevented from working and I discover that the apparent cause is the issue of fopen and fsockopen etc. being set to off by the host that I use because of security concerns:
$url="http://remote_server.cgi";
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{$url .="$key=" . urlencode($value) . "&";}
$array = file($url);]
The host has cURL so I try that but the form entries are not being accepted as they are with a direct post from the form:
$URL="http://remote_server.cgi";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_POST);
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
In case useragent is a problem at the remote server, I added:
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13');
I know all entries are received by the separate file by using:
print_r($_POST);
But the remote server still says "Error in form found. You are not authorized etc. etc... "
Apparently the post data is not being sent like the form sends it.
Any suggestions?
