You do not need to use a separate program to upload files with forms. You can use PHP with socket connections. Take a look at this pure PHP HTTP client class that lets you post files for upload. You can just point it to a local file or some dynamically generated data. It lets you choose the the file name in case you do not want to use the local file name. Take a look at the test_http_post.php example: http://www.phpclasses.org/httpclient -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/
