Sent post request using Zend_Http_Client - php

Question

I want to send a post request with a url redirect to a request page. Jest think request page currently use for handle submit form.
I tried the following code to my request page.
<?php
$myFile = "test.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "Request come to the page\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
if (isset($_POST)) {
$stringData = $_POST['user'];
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
}
fclose($fh);
echo 'page found';
I tried Zend_Http_Client to do that. This is my simple action.
public function indexAction()
{
$client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://localhost/test/test.php');
$client->setParameterPost(array('user' => 'dinuka'));
$client->setConfig(array('strictredirects' => true));
$response = $client->request(Zend_Http_Client::POST);
}
Now request send to the test.php. But not redirect to the http://localhost/test/test.php page. I want send request + redirect. I asked this question previously. But it closed as pure question. Please help me. I haven't good knowledge about http request. What is the strictredirects?

I think this might cover the basics of what you want:
<?php
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
public function init() {
}
public function indexAction() {
//set form action to indexController nextAction
$form = My_Form();
$form->setAction('/index/next');
//asign form to view
$this->view->form = $form;
}
public function nextAction() {
//if form is posted and valid
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
if ($form->isValid($this->getRequest()->getPost())) {
$data = $form->getValues();
//Do some stuff
}
} else {
//if form not posted go to form in indexAction
$this->_forward('index');
}
}
}
it seems as though this the form of your question, but what you really want to know is how send post data in a redirect instead of get data, if I'm on the right track please
comment on how else we can change this to help you solve your problem.
public function indexAction()
{
$client = new Zend_Http_Client('http://localhost/test/test.php');
$client->setParameterPost(array('user' => 'dinuka'));
$client->setConfig(array('strictredirects' => true));
$response = $client->request(Zend_Http_Client::POST);
}
I get the idea that what you want with this piece of code is to submit a post request to this url and to redirect your browser there at the same time.
This should be possible and according to what I can find it is supposed to be as simple as $response->location but I can't make it work. ->location is supposed to be a header element but I can't find it. Maybe one of our other gurus can help.
