Sending a POST request without submitting an HTML form

Question

I am wondering, is it possible to send an HTTP POST in PHP without using an HTML form. Can this be done internally using PHP? If not, maybe using JavaScript or jQuery?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. The simpler solution is to use curl. Also, you can just open a socket to the remote server and send raw HTTP request.

See curl examples in the documentation
