Php Post Data...

[GITs]

Hi all...

I'm using a php script to check that an imap connection exists... if it does, i want to re-direct to another page, written in ASP, for further processing. but this re-direct needs to contain post data for the asp page, GET is not an option due to security, and I dont want to use anything other than a base install of php (+extensions which are included in it) if possible... here is what i have so far.

[code]<?php
    $host = "{pastonexch01:143}";
    $connection = imap_open($host, $_POST["user"], $_POST["pass"], OP_HALFOPEN);
    if ($connection) {
      imap_close($connection);
$postdata="user=".$_POST["user"];


      $da = fsockopen("careerslink.paston.ac.uk", 80, $errno, $errstr);
      if (!$da) {
          echo "$errstr ($errno)<br/>\n";
          echo $da;
      }
      else {
          $salida ="POST /login.asp  HTTP/1.1\r\n";
          $salida.="Location: /login.asp\r\n";
          $salida.="User-Agent: PHP Script\r\n";
          $salida.="Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
          $salida.="Content-Length: ".strlen($postdata)."\r\n";
          $salida.="Connection: close\r\n\r\n";
          $salida.=$postdata;
  echo $salida;
          fwrite($da, $salida);
  echo ("worked :)");
      }
    }
    else{

    }
?>
[/code]

however, this will not re-direct to the next page... i have no idea why because im a php noob...

hoping you can help me, ive been stuck on this for a while now...

Hi

First of all php wont redirect once output has been sent,i.e. an echo statement.

Secondly php has built in header transmission. I haven't experimented much with it but it is probably worth a shot:

try replacing:
          $salida ="POST /login.asp  HTTP/1.1\r\n";
          $salida.="Location: /login.asp\r\n";
          echo $salida;

with something like

          header("POST /login.asp  HTTP/1.1");
          header("Location: /login.asp");

Have a read here [url=http://uk.php.net/header]http://uk.php.net/header[/url] for more info.

Hope this is helpful

Cheers,
