im working on something very similar for my site, and here is what i've pieced together..
register.php
PHP Code:
<?
/*********************************************************************************************

*********************************************************************************************/
if($Submit) {
$db_reg=PostToHost("www.yoursite.com","/path/to/forums/register.php","username=".urlencode($username)."&password=".urlencode($password)."&passwordconfirm=".urlencode($password)."&email=".urlencode($email)."&emailconfirm=".urlencode($email)."&homepage=".urlencode($homepage)."&icq=".urlencode($icq)."&aim=".urlencode($aim)."&yahoo=".urlencode($yahoo)."&allowmail=".urlencode($allowmail)."&invisible=".urlencode($invisible)."&showemail=".urlencode($showemail)."&cookieuser=yes&nosessionhash=yes&receivepm=no&emailonpm=no&pmpopup=no&prunedays=-1&umaxposts=-1&startofweek=1&timezoneoffset=-5&emailnotification=no&newstyleset=1&action=addmember&submit=submit");
header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com/yay.shtml");
exit;
} else {
include "./registerinc.php";
exit;
}

function PostToHost($host, $path, $data_to_send) {
$fp = fsockopen($host,80);
fputs($fp, "POST $path HTTP/1.1\n");
fputs($fp, "Host: $host\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n");
fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data_to_send)."\n");

fputs($fp, $data_to_send);
while(!feof($fp)) {
return fgets($fp, 128);
}
fclose($fp);
}
?>
and then we need to have the form, so make registerinc.php
Code:

works for me. what i like about it, is that if i want to i can just add more function calls to 'posttohost' utilizing whatever vars the registration for any given form needs (the above is for vb2.0, and it auto-sets some things to default, so the base register page is more generic) but you can modify it easilly to work for most anything
