Send and receive data

Sending and receiving data using the GET and POST methods are easy when using the SMRequest class.

$data = new SMKeyValueCollection();
$data["name"] = "Casper Jacksson";
$data["age"] = "29";

// Send and receive data as if an HTML Post Form was used
$postResponse = SMRequest::Post("http://domain.com/test.php", $data);

// Send and receive data as if data was specified in URL:
// http://domain.com/test.php?name=Casper Jacksson&age=29
$getResponse = SMRequest::Get("http://domain.com/test.php", $data);
The SMRedirect class can be used to perform redirects, allowing a request to be transfered to another URL.

// The PHP way - do not use this solution
header("location: http://google.com");

// The Sitemagic way
SMRedirect::Redirect("http://google.com");
In case redirecting is needed, use the Sitemagic solution. The Redirect function will make sure all data is properly committed, before redirecting the user to the specified address.
