Pass an PHP Object or Array from one Site to another Site?

In PHP, how can I pass an Object (actually an Array) from one Site to another Site (by not losing its original Object Structure and Values)?

  • How to PASS/SEND from the host site
  • NOT to pull from the destination site

I want to pass directly from the automated script by NOT using HTML and web forms.
Any suggestion, please.

Solution

  • The best way to do that is to use json_encode():

    file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/script.php?data='.json_encode($object));

    on the other side:

    $content = json_decode($_GET['data']);

    or send it using cURL

    $url = 'http://www.example.com/script.php';
$post = 'data='.json_encode($object);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
curl_exec($ch);

    on the other side:

    $content = json_decode($_POST['data']);
