<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

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

$http = new CkHttp();

// The Cookie header field has this format:
// Cookie: name1=value1 [; name2=value2] ...

// Build an HTTP POST request:
$req = new CkHttpRequest();
$req->SetFromUrl('http://www.chilkatsoft.com/echoPost.asp');
$req->put_HttpVerb('POST');

$req->AddParam('param1','value1');
$req->AddParam('param2','value2');

// To add cookies to any HTTP request sent by a Chilkat HTTP method
// that uses an HTTP request object, add the cookies to the
// request object by calling AddHeader.  

// Add two cookies:
$req->AddHeader('Cookie','user=\'mary\'; city=\'Chicago\'');

// Send the HTTP POST.  
// (The cookies are sent as part of the HTTP header.)

$domain = 'www.chilkatsoft.com';
$port = 80;
$ssl = false;
$resp = new CkHttpResponse();
$success = $http->HttpSReq($domain,$port,$ssl,$req,$resp);
if ($success == false) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Display the HTML body of the response.
if ($resp->get_StatusCode() == 200) {
    // Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
    // our cookies...
    print $http->lastHeader() . "\n";
}
else {
    print 'HTTP Response Status = ' . $resp->get_StatusCode() . "\n";
}

print '---------------------' . "\n";

// Some Chilkat HTTP methods do not use an HTTP request object. 
// For these methods, such as for QuickGetStr, cookies (or any HTTP request header) 
// are added by calling SetRequestHeader.  
$http->SetRequestHeader('Cookie','user=\'mary\'; city=\'Chicago\'');

$html = $http->quickGetStr('http://www.w3.org/');
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
}

    // Show the last HTTP request header sent, which should include
