Send HTTP Post with Array - PHP -

i'm trying use nice function:

function do_post_request($url, $data, $optional_headers = null) {     $params = array('http' => array(         'method' => 'post',         'content' => $data     ));      if ($optional_headers !== null) {         $params['http']['header'] = $optional_headers;     }     $ctx = stream_context_create($params);     $fp = @fopen($url, 'rb', false, $ctx);     if (!$fp) {         throw new exception("problem $url, $php_errormsg");     }     $response = @stream_get_contents($fp);     if ($response === false) {         throw new exception("problem reading data $url, $php_errormsg");     }      return $response; } 

to send post command specific url, problem i'm trying send post paramters in form of array, this

login[username]: myusername login[password]: mypassword, 

however i'm not able that, calling function :

            $login_post = array('login[username]' => $email,                             'login[password]' => '');         do_post_request(gethost($website['code']), $login_post); 

always send data post in form:

username: myusername password: mypassword 

how can avoid (without using curl)? lot.

thanks

<?php // define post data  $donnees = array( 'login' => 'test', 'password' => '******' );  function http_build_headers( $headers ) {         $headers_brut = '';         foreach( $headers $name => $value ) {                $headers_brut .= $name . ': ' . $value . "\r\n";        }         return $headers_brut; }  $content = http_build_query( $donnees );  // define headers  $headers = http_build_headers( array( 'content-type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'content-length' => strlen( $content) ) );  // define context  $options = array( 'http' => array( 'user_agent' => 'mozilla/5.0 (windows; u; windows nt 5.1; fr; rv:1.8.1) gecko/20061010 firefox/2.0', 'method' => 'post', 'content' => $content, 'header' => $headers ) );  // create context $contexte = stream_context_create( $options );  // send request $return = file_get_contents( 'http://www.exemple.com', false, $contexte ); ?>
