I am in a situation where I cannot use PHP cURL module to POST my form data. I have found a great blog post showing how to POST without using cURL here:HTTP POST from PHP, without cURLHere's my problem though. When I attempt to send my POST request, the request hits the (other) server but the content (POST data) is not transmitted. The other server does not get the content. HOWEVER, if I do use cURL, it works fine. What am I missing? How can I recreate the cURL HTTP POST request without using cURL?Here is the cURL code that works ($this->params is just $_POST which contains the form data):\[code\]$ch = curl_init($this->url);$params = http_build_query($this->params);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params );curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER ,0); // DO NOT RETURN HTTP HEADERScurl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER ,1); // RETURN THE CONTENTS OF THE CALL$result = curl_exec($ch);curl_close($ch);return $result;\[/code\]And here is my non-cURL version that does not work:\[code\]$postStr = http_build_query($this->params);$opts = array( 'http'=>array( 'method' => $method, //'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', //'header' => 'content-type: multipart/form-data', 'content-type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'content-encoding' => 'UTF-8', 'content' => $postStr ));$context = stream_context_create($opts);$result = file_get_contents($this->url, false, $context);return $result;\[/code\]There are no errors or warnings. Just, the accepting server doesn't appear to the contents. Any ideas?
