I know someone was trying to post info without a form.  They were
referred by someone on this list to the following script:
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/12039/fid/51

I have modified this PHP script slightly:

function sendByPost( $path, $data )
{
 $host = 'localhost';
 $fp = fsockopen( $host, 80 );
 fputs( $fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n" );
 fputs( $fp, "Host: $host\n" );
 fputs( $fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n" );
 fputs( $fp, "Content-length: ".strlen( $data )."\n" );
 fputs( $fp, "Connection: close\n\n" );
 fputs( $fp, $data );
 while ( !feof($fp) )
  $buf .= fgets( $fp, 128 );
 fclose( $fp );
 return $buf;
}

AND am calling it with:

$data = 'cn=Name';
$path = '/jotr/compSignUp.php';
sendByPost( $path, $data );

Did whoever was working on this get the script to work?  My script just
hangs, and does nothing.
