这里只使用了一个没有cURL的命令。超级简单。

echo file_get_contents('https://www.server.com', false, stream_context_create([
    'http' => [
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header'  => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        'content' => http_build_query([
            'key1' => 'Hello world!', 'key2' => 'second value'
        ])
    ]
]));

这里有这样的代码:

<?php
$postdata = http_build_query(
    array(
        'name' => 'Robert',
        'id' => '1'
    )
);
$opts = array('http' =>
    array(
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'content' => $postdata
    )
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$result = file_get_contents('http://localhost:8000/api/test', false, $context);
echo $result;?>

尝试PEAR的HTTP_Request2包来轻松地发送POST请求。或者，您可以使用PHP的curl函数或使用PHP流上下文。

HTTP_Request2还使模拟服务器成为可能，因此您可以轻松地对代码进行单元测试

根据主要答案，以下是我使用的方法:

function do_post($url, $params) {
    $options = array(
        'http' => array(
            'header'  => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
            'method'  => 'POST',
            'content' => $params
        )
    );
    $result = file_get_contents($url, false, stream_context_create($options));
}

使用示例:

do_post('https://www.google-analytics.com/collect', 'v=1&t=pageview&tid=UA-xxxxxxx-xx&cid=abcdef...');

用PHP发送GET或POST请求的更好方法如下:

<?php
    $r = new HttpRequest('http://example.com/form.php', HttpRequest::METH_POST);
    $r->setOptions(array('cookies' => array('lang' => 'de')));
    $r->addPostFields(array('user' => 'mike', 'pass' => 's3c|r3t'));

    try {
        echo $r->send()->getBody();
    } catch (HttpException $ex) {
        echo $ex;
    }
?>

我做了一个函数来请求一个使用JSON的帖子:

const FORMAT_CONTENT_LENGTH = 'Content-Length: %d';
const FORMAT_CONTENT_TYPE = 'Content-Type: %s';

const CONTENT_TYPE_JSON = 'application/json';
/**
 * @description Make a HTTP-POST JSON call
 * @param string $url
 * @param array $params
 * @return bool|string HTTP-Response body or an empty string if the request fails or is empty
 */
function HTTPJSONPost(string $url, array $params)
{
    $content = json_encode($params);
    $response = file_get_contents($url, false, // do not use_include_path
        stream_context_create([
            'http' => [
                'method' => 'POST',
                'header' => [ // header array does not need '\r\n'
                    sprintf(FORMAT_CONTENT_TYPE, CONTENT_TYPE_JSON),
                    sprintf(FORMAT_CONTENT_LENGTH, strlen($content)),
                ],
                'content' => $content
            ]
        ])); // no maxlength/offset
    if ($response === false) {
        return json_encode(['error' => 'Failed to get contents...']);
    }

    return $response;
}
