How can I force an HTTP GET request through a proxy server with PHP ?

Right now I use this function to send my info :
function myPost($URL, $script, $data){

$sock = fsockopen($URL, 80, $errno, $errstr);
fputs($sock, "GET ".$script." HTTP/1.0\r\n");
fputs($sock, "Host:".$URL."\r\n");
fputs($sock, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
fputs($sock, "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n");
fputs($sock, "Accept: */*\r\n");
fputs($sock, "\r\n");
fputs($sock, "$data\r\n");
fputs($sock, "\r\n");
fclose($sock);
}

Thanks for any help !

bump 8 char

fputs($sock, "Host:".$URL.":8080\r\n");

Missing port ? Other than that I can't see much wrong, although I'm tired and can't think straight atm >_<

no the function is working fine but it's not going through a proxy as it is.

I guess my question should be more like how do you interact with a proxy in php. Can't find much doc on this subject ...

Here, I'll save you some time. Rewrite for cURL. It'll save you many, many, many headaches.

Code:

     $ch = curl_init();
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $requestUrl);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 'timeout_in_seconds');
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'proxy_ip:proxy_port');
     $data = curl_exec($ch);
     curl_close($ch);

See my following answer. Writing fsock code to do posting is both deprecated, and painful. Trying to make it nest multiple levels for proxy CONNECT statements, et al, is just asinine when there already exists the functionality.
