from the client end, you can't
from the server end, you can use curl.

Subject: [PHP] How to send POST info without a form?


I have a single php file that I want to do some different things (only one
at a time, based on a conditional):

display a form to the user for input
submit information from (above) form to database
list information in database (that has been INSERTed by the above)

I want this file to be able to call itself using the following code:

$input = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?action=INPUT";
$list = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?action=LIST";
print '<a href="'.$input.'">Input a new user</a><br>';
print '<a href="'.$list.'">List all users</a>';

but I want to submit the action value as a POST rather than a GET. I then
have conditionals around each of my modules that check $_POST['action'] for
one of three values and only print that module if that's the action I need
the file to perform.

Basically I'm trying to figure out how to lump this all into one file.
Obviously I could split it into three files that do each of the desired
actions, but I would then also have to have a fourth file which provides a
front end into it, which I don't want to do and is what got me started down
this path.

How can I submit POST information to a php file without using an HTML form?

TIA.
