RE: [PHP] Passing data between the web to an Intranet

That would've been ideal. However I asked our webhost and they want 2100+ Danish Marks (Dotserv - tight "#"#"#!" - needless to say it isn't going to happen) to configure cURL within their PHP, can't do cron jobs either. They suggest I use wget to do the same thing, however the only way I can think of to do that is display the submissions on a page and and somehow parse that into SQL to insert it. Any ideas on how I can go about that?
