PHP HTTP Header to send POST data

Question

Is there a way to send POST data using HTTP headers without a form from PHP?

Answer 1

Sure, you can create a valid http request with your specified POST parameters easily using a library like cURL.

See this for a curl example

If you are limited to plain PHP you can create your own (valid) http-request, see example

Answer 2

I don't think you can. You might want to use sessions, cookies, hidden forms or $_GET
