Although I don't know anything about it there is a function called http_request(); and the official documentation can be found at http://php.net/manual/kr/function.http-request.php

Note that this is a pecl extension. You'll have to build it into PHP.
If you need just a simple HTTP Request, you can use file_get_contents().
This makes a HTTP GET Request to the URL you give it (if the http wrapper is enabled allow_url_fopen).
You can also use the curl functions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php
Or see the docs on getting remote files:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.remote-files.php
For custom HTTP Requests use CURL or you can use fsockopen(), with fread() and fwrite().
Pear also provides a HTTP package:
