cURL

[mr_mind]

Alright I am trying to get cURL to do something for me, and i need a little help

with this. What I do not understand is how to set the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.

Obviously this pulls the response text from that page but I have not yet been

able to set the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to a postable value, my question is, do i need

to set this to the name of an input in a form or do i need to right something

special here?

 

<?php
$curl_init = curl_init('http://www.example.com/test/recieve.php');
curl_setopt($curl_init, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);
curl_setopt($curl_init, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl_init, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'sometext');
curl_exec($curl_init);
curl_close($curl_init);
?>

You know how in URLs there is something attached to the end of the URL like:

http://www.domain.com/index.php?action=post;topic=12125

.

 

You would put the bolded part there.

That would be the GET protocol and as far as i can tell what i am trying to do is through the POST protocol
