Re: Forms

If I understand your question correctly it sounds like you want to populate a database on Server A with data residing in a database on server B via a form hosted on server A *grin*. Obviously this is tedious, and if there are a lot of entries then I would suggest writing a script to populate and submit the form automatically. If you are lucky everything will be done via HTML GET method (URL parameters); however, it is more likely that it uses the POST method. You can do some reading into posting data via HTML request headers, or you can look and see if there is a class that does what you want in PEAR or PHP Classes. HTH, Rob.
