Here’s how you execute a POST using the PHP CURL library.

Spellify is “an automatic text field spell checker” that’s available for download, with the following requirements:

- PHP 4+ with CURL library installed (developed using PHP 4.4.6)
- script.aculo.us 1.8.0 (only effects.js and scriptaculous.js required)
- Prototype JavaScript Framework 1.6.0

GoDaddy hosting is evil if you’re a web developer and don’t know what they limit. Sometimes getting open source software installed and working (or some of it’s features afterwards) can be a pain. Zencart can be installed, but it’s Authorize.NET payment module might not work because of cURL. I stumbled on a possible solution. I’m repeating it here, just so I can make sure it’s in my database.

Add the following to the cURL routine in authorizenet_aim.php.

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
// The line below was posted on Godaddy's support site,
// but did not work for me
//curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,"http://64.202.165.130:3128");
// This line worked for me instead
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,"64.202.165.130:3128");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 45);

Also bookmarking zenCart’s forum here. Also, since i work with zenCart I decided to open up a whole category on it. Got to bookmark more tips.
