$url = "http://www.domain.com/";

$fields = array(
                    'myparam1' => 'something',
                );

foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string, '&');


//open connection
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);
//curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
print_r("+");
curl_close($ch);

?>

The problem is it show the response in the web browse , but i dont want to. any help would be appreciated.

You have a comment on this line:

//curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);

You should enable this line and set the value to true

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

As you can see on the man page here that option is used this way:

TRUE to return the transfer as a string of the return value of curl_exec() instead of outputting it out directly.

The option CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER will return the output rather than printing it.

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS can take array directly and CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER should be true

$url = "http://www.php.net";
$fields = array(
        'myparam1' => 'something'
);
// open connection
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
