Silent Post [Read All]

In this article we will give step-by-step instructions on how to perform a silent post. This is particularly useful when you want the submit the values entered by the user and post them to another location, were you can perform different operations to the data.

Step 1:

Lets assume that you have a remote script (test.php that waits for the POST variables located at: http://yoursite.com/test.php)

Step 2:

Go to the “Scripts” tab and in the “Scritps called on form process” area type this code:

if(isset($_POST['form']['Field1'])){

//

// test HTTP POST submitter, using “libcurl”

//

// the target URL which contains scripts that accepts post request

$url = "http://www.yoursite.com/test.php";

$useragent="YahooSeeker-Testing/v3.9 (compatible; Mozilla 4.0; MSIE 5.5; http://search.yahoo.com/)";

$ch = curl_init();

// set user agent

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);

// set the target url

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);

// howmany parameter to post

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

// HERE YOU MUST SET THE VARIABLES FROM THE FORM

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"field1=".$_POST['form']['Field1']);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"field2=".$_POST['form']['Field2']);

// execute curl,fetch the result and close curl connection

$result= curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch);

}

Step 3: Click “Apply”. This example will send field1 and field2 to your remote test script.

Please take into account that this should be implemented if you know what you are doing.
