HTTP POST without cURL
Need to do a HTTP POST, but your PHP for whatever reason does not have access to Curl? Wez Furlong wrote a simple function that does HTTP POST via stream_context_create, which should work out to be faster than Curl-based HTTP POST, since stream functions do not have the overhead.

Hello!
This function is super-useful
But I can`t seem to understand how the $data var must be
I tried to call the function like this: do_post_request(”http://www.a.com/test.php”, “cocobongo”);
test.php is opened (I can see it in the log) but $_POST[content] is empty.
I am probaby not understanding something basic about php, but could someone please post a working example on how the function must be called.
Thanks in advance for help
