Socket connection to show account info help needed

1

Well, if the title wasn’t clear enough, I need help with a script I am creating. I am new to socket aspects of life, expecially for PHP, but need to edit my already working application to use a post method instead of a get. It will eventually be used to show account information from an offsite database when queried, and as it may be sending secure material between the 2 I don’t want to have it using the URL to store its information.

Here is the script at the moment

And if you wish to see the source code here you can do that:

Basically I have this code:

<?php
if(count($_GET)) {
highlight_file(__FILE__);
echo"<br><br>";
}

$SendVar = "now";
function getVersion($Send) {

   $host = 'threeskulls.th.funpic.org';
   $fp = fsockopen($host, 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 8);
   if (!$fp) {
      return "Unable to connect to {$host}";
   }
   else {
      $request = "GET /tv2.php?find=$Send HTTP/1.0
"
         ."Host: $host
"
         ."Connection: close

";
      fputs($fp, $request);

      while (!feof($fp)){
          $response .= fgets($fp, 1024);
      }

      fclose($fp);

      if(strstr($response, ':')){
//          $response = explode("time:", $response);
//          return 'Testing: ' . $response['1'];
          return $response;
      }

      return "Unable to find output on {$host}";
   }
}

  echo getVersion($SendVar);
?>

and I need to change the communication method to POST, but can’t get it to work with what I have tried.

It will be making queries on the offsite page to a mysql database so I can’t just have the contents of the file included, but need them to finsih their functions and send back the results.

Any help would be great.
