What you need is curl.
The best way is to use bellow code as Service, so I'll give the complete Class
The Service class
<?php
App\Services;
class PostRequest
{
static function get_data(String $url, Array $post_parameters)
{
//url-ify the data for the POST
$parameters_string = "";
foreach($post_parameters as $key=>$value) {
$parameters .= $key.'='.$value.'&';
}
rtrim($fields_string, '&');
//open connection
$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($post_parameters));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $parameters);
//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
}
?>
So after including use App\Services\PostRequest; inside your Controller, you can do this
public function testCreateFile() {
$uri = 'http://someuri/somefuncition';
$paramaters = [
'csv' => '20190102212655-product-test.csv',
'type' => '5',
];
$request = PostRequest::get_data($uri, $paramaters);
return new Response("Message to user") ;
}
