Answer 1

to send parameters to a web page you can use 1 of two methods GET or POST

GET is where the parameters are appended to the name of the resource you are getting

e.g $url = "http://localhost/sample.php?name=" . urlencode( $value )

the other choice is via a POST. post is sent to the server as a page of information to do this with curl you create a post with

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'name=' . urlencode( $value ) . '&name2=' . urlencode( $value2 ));

If on the other hand you are talking about Headers, then you can access them through the $_SERVER['headername'] array.
