Hi,
I think just assembling the URL should do the trick.
So just add all name/value pairs you have to the url.
eg:
$baseURL = "http://go.mappoint.net?";
// assuming you have your info in an assoc-array:
$myNameValues = array(
"LOC" => "23.327467234",
"CT" => "34.879327689"
);
// urlencode all values
$urlEncodedParts = array();
foreach ($myNameValues as $key => $value){
$urlEncodedParts = $key."=".urlencode($value);
}
// add to baseurl
$baseURL .= implode("&",$urlEncodedParts );
Then just use the baseurl in CURL without POST-options.
(Not tested)
