Speaking of Payment Processing... will PHP ever have a POST() function to post encoded form data to a server?

Its easy enough to write your own, but for people not confident in all the header mumbo-jumbo, it would be really nice to be able to just:

$URL="https://secure.authorize.net/secure/transact.dll";
$Args="id=001&cost=19.96&card_number=444444&....";
$Post_Results=post($URL,$Args);

I think this would make PHP far, far easier to use for real time credit card processing, as well as a host of other useful things.

Also, if there was some built in way to do the encryption that those companies always want... or at least a PHP tutorial for it... cause I can never figure out what they want, or how the data has to be encrypted... :P
