// everyone can change or use this code however and wherever they want ;)

 // send out "browser" headers

  fputs ($fp, "Connection: Keep-Alive\n");

// example how to use:

// following code will post variables "login" and "pass" to server
"www.something.com" script "/submit.php"
$reply = post_data ("www.something.com", "/submit.php", array ("login" =>
$username, "pass" => $password));
