posting from php
is it possible using a header or something to post information to another script as if it was being posted by a form?

easiest way would be to redirect to the form handler sending the data in the url. this won't work if the handler only looks for POST data though...
<?php
// assuming the form takes two fields, name and comments
$username = \"Fred Flintstone\";
$comments = \"Your site is teh win!!!\";
// make the parameters url safe
$username = urlencode($username);
$comments = urlencode($comments);
// redirect to the form handler
header(\"Location: http://www.mysite.com/formsubmit.php?username=$username&comments=$comments\");
exit;
?>

Can't you have the PHP script print out a HTML form (method set to POST) with a javascript that submits that form when the page has loaded? It shouldn't be that hard to do.
