Server Side Posting (SSL)

Posting from my server to another

[Raymond]

Hi, I am having compatibility problems with MSXML to server post on a Java enterprise server. I am looking for a PHP alternative to get around the compatibility issue.

Here is my sample code in ASP:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBScript"%> 
<% 
Dim xmlhttp 
Set xmlhttp = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP") 
xmlhttp.Open "POST", "https://www.somewebsite.com/xyz.jsp", False 
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 
xmlhttp.send "Variable=1" 
if (xmlhttp.status <> 200 ) then 
 response.write "Post FAILED" 
else 
 response.write "Post SUCCESSFUL" 
 response.write "returned status=" & xmlhttp.status 
end if 
'Below is the object that generates the msxml3.dll error 'c00ce56e' by the MSXML2 Object
response.write xmlhttp.responseText 
Set xmlhttp = Nothing 
%>

Apparently, MSXML does not support the encoding type that Java Enterprise server has. Can someone point me to a similar PHP server side posting tutorial that is similar to the functionalities of the ASP script above?

Thank you in advance.

Looks like you may need to send a character encoding along with your headers:

Mind explaining a bit more? I am not sure how should I resolve this. Thank you.

Is there a similar method that does a SERVER POST that is written in PHP?

Thank you for your help.

Maybe the PHP header [php.net] function will work for you?
