 $curl = curl_init();
 curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
            CURLOPT_URL => "http://example.com",
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
            CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
            CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
            CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
            CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
            CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
            CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "value1=111&value2=222",
            CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
                "cache-control: no-cache",
                "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
            ),
        ));

 $err = curl_error($curl);

Try something like:

$post_data="dispnumber=567567567&extension=6";
$url="http://xxxxxxxx.xxx/xx/xx";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'));   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); 
$result = curl_exec($ch);

echo $result;
