How To Send POST data with cURL.

You may want to pass data to another url using data from the database,in this way a user does not need to enter the data in the form,you can use GET to pass it however the data will be availlable on the url and therefore a user may temper with it or collect it and use it for other malicious intentions.

We achieve this using cURL which transfers data using different protocols,here is a snippet on how to use cURL.

// Get cURL resource
 $curl = curl_init();
 // Set some options
 curl_setopt_array($curl, [
     CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
     CURLOPT_URL => 'http://localhost/curlpost/receive.php',
     CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Code Snippet from https://uxtcloud.com',
     CURLOPT_POST => 1,
     CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => [
         domain => 'uxtcloud.com',
         email => '[email protected]',
         phone => '254797669121',
         purpose => 'web hosting'
     ]
 ]);
 // Send the request and test for error
 if (!curl_exec($curl)) {
     die('Error: "' . curl_error($curl) . '" - Code: ' . curl_errno($curl));
 }
 // Close request to clear up some resources
 curl_close($curl); 

Copy the code above in to your text editor and change the parameters accordingly.
