How to programmatically send a form in PHP (ASP equivalent shown below)

We are able to programmatically send a form to a target website (in this case, a contact information form sent to Constant Contact) using the following ASP code:

      ' allocate the XMLHTTP object that will be used to send the form
      set xmlServerHttp = server.createObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")
      xmlServerHttp.Open "POST", sSourceURL, False
      xmlServerHttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

      'response.write("sParams=" & sParams & "<br>")

      ' send the form
      xmlServerHttp.send sParams

      ' set the return value
      SendFormToIContactMovement = trim(xmlServerHttp.responsetext)
      Set xmlServerHttp = Nothing

But a client has a need for the same functionality on a PHP site. Is there a way to replicate this using PHP code?

thanks experts!

Damn.. I was first responder when I started typing.

Maybe I should just hit Google in the future rather than actually writing a solution.
