Re: Form Posting from script

It's pretty easy but can be confusing if you're looking at this stuff for the first time. Look into fsocketopen() and fputs(). You can use Rasmus's posttohost() function if you're not comfortable writing your own. Do a search on www.php.net. Hope this helps. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "GeneralX" <mbsisot@sbcglobal.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 11:53 AM Subject: [PHP] Form Posting from script How do you post a form without actually waiting for submit button to be pressed? Got a CGI expecting a form post, all the fields are already available as hidden type in a form, and just need to be send it. I know you can use Java as such: <form method="post" action="CGI.php"> <input type="hidden" name="FName" value="myFirstName"> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> document.forms[0].submit(); </script>
