simple curl connection - php

Hi, I am trying to link to barclaycard payment gateway using fsockopen (which works fine) but the server I am hosting my website on ([login to view URL]) require to use proxy to connect to any external server. They require to use curl for that. I am having trouble in using curl to make connection with payment gateway server. I want a coder who can make a connection to the server using curl. Please note you will not be doing full integration of payment gateway, all you are required to do is to make a simple connection with the payment gateway server and I will do the rest myself. Below is a coding used for fsockopen connetion. This uses cliient id and password as part of the $postdata. function pullpage( $host, $usepath, $postdata = "" ) { # open socket to filehandle(epdq encryption cgi) $fp = fsockopen( $host, 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 60 ); #check that the socket has been opened successfully if( !$fp ) { print "$errstr ($errno) \n"; } else { #write the data to the encryption cgi fputs( $fp, "POST $usepath HTTP/1.0\n"); $strlength = strlen( $postdata ); fputs( $fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n" ); fputs( $fp, "Content-length: ".$strlength."\n\n" ); fputs( $fp, $postdata."\n\n" ); #clear the response data $output = ""; #read the response from the remote cgi #while content exists, keep retrieving document in 1K chunks while( !feof( $fp ) ) { $output .= fgets( $fp, 1024); } #close the socket connection fclose( $fp); } return $output; } If you have any question then please ask.
