Using the code below, I'm unable to send any POST data. The page that is supposed to receive it, isn't receiving it for some reason..
$url = "http://www.somesite.com/curl_test_page.php";
$employee_id = 5;
$post_fields = "employee_id=" . $employee_id;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
On the curl_test_page.php, the code is as follows:
$employee_id = $_POST['employee_id'];
echo $employee_id;
When I run the CURL script, it displays an empty page.
