php cUrl help please

[mdannatt]

I am trying to use cUrl to send variable $startdate and its value to a new php page. can someone tell me what to change to get it to work please?

$url = "localhost/pod/mypage2.php";

$ch = curl_init(); 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://$URL");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "startdate=$startdate");

curl_exec ($ch);   

curl_close ($ch);

it looks fine to me, apart from the fact $startdate isn't set!

 

also maybe try changing

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "startdate=$startdate");

to

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array("startdate"=>$startdate));
