If so, then their server is flaky. Or, if are you sending different info in the query string at different times, then you are likely not passing the info correctly. When constructing the query string, the values need to be URL encoded first. See http://php.net/urlencode for more info on this. > Also, is there any easy way to spoof posting a form?
