There are many small errors in your code. Here's a snippet which is tested and works.

 'world'
);
$content = http_build_query($vars);

fwrite($fp, "POST /reposter.php HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Host: example.com\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Length: ".strlen($content)."\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Connection: close\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "\r\n");

fwrite($fp, $content);

header('Content-type: text/plain');
while (!feof($fp)) {
    echo fgets($fp, 1024);
}

And then at example.com/reposter.php put this

When run you should get output something like

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.9

Content-Type: text/html
