Thanks John, I get "fopen expects second param" when I call it. What would this be ? "r" "w" "x" or something else ?

I need to send some vars to a cgi script. The script url is like this http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi?var1=my_first_php_var;var2=m y_seco nd_php_var and so on. How do I send / call this script from inside my php script ?

$file = fopen('http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi?var1=my_first_php_var&var2= my_second_php_var&var3=...'); or $file = fopen("http....script.cgi?var1=$phpvar1&var2=$phpvar2..."); although you'd want to urlencode() the PHP variables if you need something like the second method. ---John Holmes...
