Except that https:// doesn't work with fopen until PHP 4.3.0.
Suggestions are only good if they work with a current version of PHP. :)
(No, I don't consider 4.3.0 current until it's at *least* released)
Regardless, until then, CURL support is probably the way to go.
Assuming you have curl support, it's fairly straightforward:
---
$ch = curl_init("https://somesite.com";);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $authorization_data);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$errorstr = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
---
$result contains the data received and $errorstr contains the error
message (if any) if it was unsuccessful. Translating $result depends on
how they return the data.
With the above example, you'll need to have $authorization_data in POST
format, which really is nothing more than the GET format string.
(Secure transaction APIs typically don't allow GET)
