Oops. Shouldn't have responded having read only half the post.

Try calling stream_get_meta_data() on the resource returned by fopen
and see what it contains. Often times an application would immediately
redirect to a GET page after a POST. If you redirect the user to that
link, then it'd work.

You can redirect a POST using the HTTP status code 307. Non-IE browsers
would show an alert box however.
