To send a POST request using the header() function in PHP, you need to set the HTTP headers appropriately. Here's an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 |
<?php
$url = 'http://example.com/api'; // Replace with your target URL
// Set POST data
$data = array(
'param1' => 'value1',
'param2' => 'value2'
);
// Convert data array to a query string
$data = http_build_query($data);
// Set headers
$headers = array(
'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data)
);
// Create a context
$context = array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'POST',
'header' => implode("
", $headers),
'content' => $data
)
);
// Send the HTTP request
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, stream_context_create($context));
// Handle the response
echo $result;
?>

In this example, the code sends a POST request to http://example.com/api and includes two parameters: param1 with a value of value1 and param2 with a value of value2. The response from the server is then printed.
Make sure to replace 'http://example.com/api' with the actual URL you want to send the POST request to, and modify the data array to include the desired parameters and values.
