What are alternative methods for transferring data between servers in PHP, besides using a link?

When transferring data between servers in PHP, besides using a link, you can use cURL (Client URL Library) to make HTTP requests to another server. cURL allows you to send and receive data over various protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc. It provides a more flexible and powerful way to transfer data between servers compared to simple links. 

// Initialize cURL session
$ch = curl_init();

// Set cURL options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/data_receiver.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query(['key' => 'value']));

// Execute cURL session
$result = curl_exec($ch);

// Close cURL session
curl_close($ch);

// Handle the response from the server
if($result === false){
    echo 'cURL error: ' . curl_error($ch);
} else {
    echo 'Data transferred successfully: ' . $result;
}
