Here’s something I don’t do very often, but I’ve written a quick procedural script that could easily be turned into a class that will submit data to a HTTP POST “webservice”. It wouldn’t be a web service per se, rather than just a PHP script that accepts POST parameters, as opposed to an actual SOAP endpoint.
<?php // Put the URL of your "POST endpoint" $url = 'http://some/script/that/accepts/POST/input.php'; // Add your field pairs to this array... $field_pairs = array( array("field1", "avalue"), array("field2", "bvalue"), ); // This bit prepares the fields by imploding them into a format similar to a query string... $fields = array(); foreach($field_pairs as $field_pair) { $fields[] = implode("=", $field_pair); } $postfields = implode("&", $fields); // This sends the request through cURL $c = curl_init(); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields); curl_exec($c); curl_close($c); ?>
