Using a PHP to send POST data

I want to intercept and manipulate POST data before sending it on

[Igau]

I'll try and keep this brief...

Basically I'm submitting from form1.php to [remote.server.com...] using POST. This works fine on it's own, but I want to introduce a PHP script in the middle to do some data manipulation before proceeding onwards.

After successfully setting up $postdata, I'm using this to try and send it...

sendPOST($postdata,"/anotherscript.asp");

function sendPOST($PostData, $Uri) {
 $ContentLength = strlen($PostData);
 $Host = "remote.server.com";
 $Script = $Host . $Uri;
 header("location: $Script");
 $ReqHeader =
 "POST $Uri HTTP/1.0\n".
 "Host: $Host" . ":443\n".
 "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n".
 "Content-Length: $ContentLength\n\n".
 "$PostData";
 
 // Open the connection to the host
 $socket = fsockopen($Host, "443");
 
 if($socket) {
 
 fputs($socket, $ReqHeader);
 
 //while (!feof($socket)) {
 // $result .= fgets($socket,1024);
 //}
 
 }
 
 fclose($socket);
 if($result) echo $result;
 
}

However, I seem to be sending data from form1.php instead of the form I put in the middle... Can anyone help? I'm totally stuck on this and I have a pretty tight work deadline (2 days left now)...

I believe this can be done using the cURL functions.

Just tried using cURL instead... I get exactly the same thing...

$URL = $Host . $Uri;
$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://$URL");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $PostData);
curl_exec ($ch); 
curl_close ($ch); 
header("location: myserver/script.asp);

If I miss out the header("location") part, it doesn't redirect to the page I'm submitting data to... I must be doing something fundamentally wrong somewhere here.

Sorry, but bumping this... nobody got any ideas? I'm desperate to get this sorted out ASAP!
