HTTP POST from PHP, without cURL Posted on 15 Nov 2006, Updated on 23 May 2010 Update May 2010: This is one of my most popular blog entries, so it seems worthwhile to modernize it a little. I've added an example of a generic REST helper that I've been using in a couple of places below the original do_post_request function in this entry. Enjoy! I don't think we do a very good job of evangelizing so
