One of those should work, depending on what tools you have available

Code:

$ lynx -source http://www.domain.com/something.php?smt=SOMEDATA >/dev/null 2>&1
$ links -source http://www.domain.com/something.php?smt=SOMEDATA >/dev/null 2>&1
$ w3m -dump_head http://www.domain.com/something.php?smt=SOMEDATA >/dev/null 2>&1
$ netcat www.domain.com 80 <<EOF >/dev/null 2>&1 # Sometimes installed as nc, the line prior to EOF is completely empty
HEAD /something.php?smt=SOMEDATA HTTP/1.1
Host: www.domain.com
Connection: close
Accept */*

EOF
$
The following only works in bash and some versions of ksh
$ exec 3>/dev/tcp/www.domain.com/80 && echo "HEAD /something.php?smt=SOMEDATA HTTP/1.1
Host: www.domain.com
Connection: close
Accept */*

" >&3

mssql_close

MSSQL_CLOSE(3)															    MSSQL_CLOSE(3)

mssql_close - Close MS SQL Server connection

SYNOPSIS

       bool mssql_close ([resource  $link_identifier])

DESCRIPTION

	Closes	the link to a MS SQL Server database that's associated with the specified link identifier. If the link identifier isn't specified,
       the last opened link is assumed.

	Note that this isn't usually necessary, as non-persistent open links are automatically closed at the end of the script's execution.

PARAMETERS

	      o $link_identifier
		- A MS SQL link identifier, returned by mssql_connect(3).  This function will not close persistent links generated by  mssql_pcon-
		nect(3).

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      mssql_close(3) example

	      <?php
	      // Connect to MSSQL
	      $link = mssql_connect('KALLESPCSQLEXPRESS', 'sa', 'phpfi');

	      // Do any related operations here

	      // Close the link to MSSQL
	      mssql_close($link);
	      ?>
