<?php


$req = new COM("Chilkat.HttpRequest");
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

//  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
$success = $http->UnlockComponent('Anything for 30-day trial');

//  This example simulates this FORM:
//  <form action="processPost.asp" method="post">
//  First name: <input type="text" name="firstName"><br />
//  Last name: <input type="text" name="lastName"><br />
//  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
//  </form>
//  The online FORM is found at this URL:
//  http://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

//  Build an HTTP POST Request:
$req->UsePost();

//  The FORM target is http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp
//  An easy way of filling out most of the HTTP request object
//  is to call SetFromUrl:
$req->SetFromUrl('http://www.chilkatsoft.com/processPost.asp');

//  The only remaining task is to add the params to the
//  HTTP request object:
$req->AddParam('firstName','Matt');
$req->AddParam('lastName','Jones');

//  Send the HTTP POST and get the response.
//  The POST is being sent to chilkatsoft.com, on port 80
//  (the default HTTP port), and not using SSL.

$domain = 'chilkatsoft.com';
$port = 80;
$ssl = false;

//  The HTTP POST is sent here:

$resp = $http->SynchronousRequest($domain,$port,$ssl,$req);
if (is_null($resp)) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
}
else {
    //  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
    print $resp->bodyStr() . "\n";
