The HTTP PECL extension (which contains the HTTPRequest class) isn't part of a default PHP installation.

I would take a look at CURL: http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php. You can set the HTTP method and parameters.

Or, if you don't mind using a framework, checkout the Zend FW HTTP Client module: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.http.html
