PHP3 cannot not talk SSL nativley, therefore to make an SSL post you
need to enlist the help of a little app called cURL.
cURL is a command line driven app that accepts data and simulates
posting a form to an SSL website. The data returned depends on the
server we are posting to, although usually it is returned as a comma
serperated line. cURL is called via the exec() command in PHP.

Hello
There seems to be no mention of SSL support, thus there
is none?
How big a task would it be to impliment SSL for
'post'ing data to an SSL site?
Thanks
Terry

posting a form to an SSL website. The data returned depends on the
server we are posting to, although usually it is returned as a comma
serperated line. cURL is called via the exec() command in PHP.
Here is an example of a line that calls cURL.
exec("/usr/local/bin/curl -m 120 -d \&quot;$data\&quot; https://$URL
-L",$return_message_array, $return_number);
** NOTE ** The above line must NOT contain any line breaks, make sure
its all on one line.
-m is the timeout in seconds
-d is the data you wish to post ($data="var=value&var1=value1")
$URL is the https page you are posting to,
The way i walk though the results is:
for ($i = 0; $i < count($return_message_array); $i++ ) {
$results = $results.$return_message_array[$i];
}
$results then contains all the data that was returned from the server.
