$_POST >> form submit help

Hello everyone, l've recently stumbled upon this script, and l wanted to know what l would need to do to adapt it to submit a form such as the following:


<form method=POST action=http://www.server1.com/script1.php>

<input type="text" name="name" size="10">

<input type="password" name="password" size="8">

<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>


Here's the script:


<?php

function HTTP_Post($URL,$data, $referrer="http://myreferrer.com") {

// parsing the given URL
$URL_Info=parse_url($URL);

// Building referrer
if($referrer=="") // if not given use this script as referrer
$referrer=$_SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"];

// making string from $data
foreach($data as $key=>$value)
$values[]="$key=".urlencode($value);
$data_string=implode("&",$values);

// Find out which port is needed - if not given use standard (=80)
if(!isset($URL_Info["port"]))
$URL_Info["port"]=80;


// building POST-request:
$request.="POST ".$URL_Info["path"]." HTTP/1.1\n";
$request.="Host: ".$URL_Info["host"]."\n";
$request.="Referer: $referer\n";
$request.="Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n";
$request.="Content-length: ".strlen($data_string)."\n";
$request.="Connection: close\n";
$request.="\n";
$request.=$data_string."\n";



$fp = fsockopen($URL_Info["host"],$URL_Info["port"]);
fputs($fp, $request);
while(!feof($fp)) {
$result .= fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);

return $result;
}

$output1=HTTP_Post("http://www.server1.com/script1.php",$_POST);
?>


How would l get the script to input the name, and password variables? what part of the script needs to be edited to have it post the form to http://www.server1.com/script1.php?

Any break downs, or explanations of the script would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, and your help.

the function sends whatever data you pass in your form ,so you just need to get the path right..

$output1=HTTP_Post("http://www.domain.com/page_I_want_to_post_to.htm",$_POST);
echo $output1;

now how the page you post to validates the data you are sending for login is unknown here, so not a clue if it would work or not
