There are few ways to do the job (actually, you just need to send POST data to the other site).

You can use :

• curl (example: http://davidwalsh.name/execute-http-post-php-curl),

• stream context (example: http://php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-create.php),

• or directly with sockets (example: http://www.jonasjohn.de/snippets/php/post-request.htm).
