<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

//  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$req = new CkHttpRequest();
$http = new CkHttp();

//  This example simulates this FORM:
//  <form action="echoPost.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:
//  https://www.chilkatsoft.com/simpleForm.html

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

//  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('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp');

//  Send form params using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
$req->put_ContentType('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

//  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 443 (using TLS)
$domain = 'chilkatsoft.com';
$port = 443;
$tls = true;

//  The HTTP POST is sent here:
// resp is a CkHttpResponse
$resp = $http->SynchronousRequest($domain,$port,$tls,$req);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  Display the HTML source of the page returned.
print $resp->bodyStr() . "\n";
