Remote function calling with paramerters - php

Question

I am using this function for calling method from one server to another in PHP.
function get_url($request_url) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
}
$request_url = 'http://second-server-address/listening_page.php?function=somefunction';
$response = get_url($request_url);
Here I am giving a URL with function name. The question is what if the function receives few parameters? How would we pass parameters to the method on another server using CURL.

Answer 1

Just add
$request_url = 'http://second-server-address/listening_page.php?function=somefunction&funcParam1=val&funcParam2.val
Use these passed parameters in your function

Answer 2

If you want to pass parameter as post request then try this.
function post_to_url($url, $data) {
$fields = '';
foreach($data as $key => $value) {
$fields .= $key . '=' . $value . '&';
}
rtrim($fields, '&');
$post = curl_init();
curl_setopt($post, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($post, CURLOPT_POST, count($data));
curl_setopt($post, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
curl_setopt($post, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($post);
curl_close($post);
}
$data = array(
"name" => "c.bavota",
"website" => "http://bavotasan.com",
"twitterID" => "bavotasan"
);
post_to_url("http://yoursite.com/post-to-page.php", $data);
