Programs do what you tell them to do. If you write something on the client and then tell it to get data from (or send data to) the credit bureau, why would you expect it to communicate with your server? If you want it to send/receive from your server, then you need to tell the program to do that. Also, PHP is a server side language, so, if you wrote something client side, what language did you write it in and you might be better off asking on a list for that language. > So, it meant I have to use the post request that would send the data to my > company's PHP webserver and somehow convert it into xml and send it to that > credit bureau by cURL. Is there a way to do that?? Sure. Make an HTML form on your server where users type in the input. You need to then design a script that handles the data the users submit. I don't know how you want the data formatted nor how data gets submitted to your credit bureau, so I can't state anything specific on the remaining steps. Anyway, when you're writing your HTML form in the first step, the action attribute in the <form> tag should lead to that second script you made. --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
