Hi Felipe,

The easiest and probably the best way of invoking HTTP requests from PHP is
by using the cURL extension. This is the php manual page for the curl
library in php : http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

The thing about the library is that it's API isn't so user friendly. So
there are some php classes which you may use that wraps the internal curl
api in a more object oriented and much more user friendly fashion. The one
that I used in several projects is this: http://github.com/shuber/curl .

Hope this helps.
