Web browsing using PHP

[Maccaday]

I'd like to simulate a small amount of web browsing using PHP, which includes sending information over a secure connection, but I'm not sure if it is possible.

Basically, I want to send some information in the form of variables to another site, as though a user browsing through a few pages on their site. Then I would want to do the same, but over an SSL connection.

The reason is to allow users of my site to send business cards through my site to their home, using the features of a third party that offers an anonymous service. I would rather do this by merely sending the necessary information to the other site, based on a template that I have set up, without the need for the user to go to the other site.

Thanks for any help.

PHP can do that.

Probably the easiest way is through the use of PHP's cURL family of functions.
