php post data back to a url with a function

this function uses curl to post back data to a url, this acts like a _POST form request from within a function.

Function usage:

$url

the url to post the data back to

e.g: $url = "https://kruxor.com/";

$myvars

the variables and data to post back to the url, you can add them in a string like the following example

$myvars = 'myvar1=' . $myvar1 . '&myvar2=' . $myvar2;

Usage

echo $response = post_data($url, $myvars);

PHP

public function post_data($url, $myvars) {
  		//$url = 'http://www.someurl.com';
  		//$myvars = 'myvar1=' . $myvar1 . '&myvar2=' . $myvar2;

  		$ch = curl_init( $url );
  		curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
  		curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $myvars);
  		curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
  		curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
  		curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

  		return $response = curl_exec( $ch );
  	}

You want to be the best, you MUST put the long yards in! Nothing comes easy in life so stop wishing and start DOING! So many people would rather bitch and moan than help themselves. Dont be one of those negative drainers, start today, make a small change and keep going forwards with this attitude!
