Post Data help

[dflow]

im trying to understand this Post Data script it's not posting, no errors:

 

postdata.php

<?php

//create array of data to be posted
//$post_data['firstName'] = 'Name';
$post_data['item_name'] = '12345';

//traverse array and prepare data for posting (key1=value1)
foreach ( $post_data as $key => $value) {
    $post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
}

//create the final string to be posted using implode()
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);

//we also need to add a question mark at the beginning of the string
$post_string = '?' . $post_string;

//we are going to need the length of the data string
$data_length = strlen($post_string);

//let's open the connection
$connection = fsockopen('www.example.com', 80);

//sending the data
fputs($connection, "POST  /i.php  HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fputs($connection, "Host:  www.example.com \r\n");
fputs($connection,
    "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
fputs($connection, "Content-Length: $data_length\r\n");
fputs($connection, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
fputs($connection, $post_string);

//closing the connection
fclose($connection);

?>

 

reuslt should be posted here

i.php

<?php  require('database_connection.php');?> 
<?php if(isset($post_items[0])) {


	//$Subscription_id = mysql_real_escape_string($md5c);
		//$PropertyID = mysql_real_escape_string($rowData['ID']);
		//$User_ID = mysql_real_escape_string($rowData['User_ID']);
		$item_name=mysql_real_escape_string($post_items[0]);
		$query = 'INSERT INTO SP_subscriptions(id,) values("'.$item_name.'")';
		 //$query = 'INSERT INTO SP_subscriptions(id,PropertyID,User_ID) values("'.$item_name.'","'.$PropertyID.'","'.$User_ID.'")';

		$success = mysql_query($query);


    }
else
{	$item_name=54321;
		$query = 'INSERT INTO SP_subscriptions(id) values('.$item_name.')';
		 //$query = 'INSERT INTO SP_subscriptions(id,PropertyID,User_ID) values("'.$item_name.'","'.$PropertyID.'","'.$User_ID.'")';

		$success = mysql_query($query);}

//var_dump($_POST);
//var_dump($query);
echo $query;


?>

you're not trying to fetch any posted records...

if(isset($post_items[0])) {
//should be $_POST['item_name'] since your script will be posting $_POST['item_name'] from your array
if(isset($_POST['item_name'])) {

//also try this so you get a grasp of what's being posted
print_r($_POST);

have a read of this thread http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=160316

 

in short, the variables are stored in $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA']; rather than $_POST...

 

try run this on the page receiving the data... [from the aforementioned thread & user 'kbluhm']

$raw_data = $GLOBALS['HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA'];  
parse_str( $raw_data, $_POST );

print_r( $_POST );

sorry I've never have to do this before - is your fsockopen acquiring a connection?

someone else may have successfully achieved this before and be able to help...

$fp = fsockopen("www.example.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
    //create array of data to be posted
    //$post_data['firstName'] = 'Name';
    $post_data['item_name'] = '12345';
     
    //traverse array and prepare data for posting (key1=value1)
    foreach ( $post_data as $key => $value) {
        $post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
    }
     
    //create the final string to be posted using implode()

hi

 

i actually found this tutorial but he is using OO and im getting  mysqli()  errors.

here

http://www.softcoded.com/articles/paypal_hack1.php

but i dont get how he can with this code post in the redirect ?

[joel24]

change the mysqli to normal normal mysql queries... you'll obviously have to change some of the arguments you pass to the mysql function
