Re: Accessing data posted from a different URL

Make sure you have included tags like <form method="POST" action="http://www.domain.com/full_form_processing_script_url.php"> </form> . Some people insist on making everything XHTML compliant just they assume that otherwise it would not be "Web standards" compliant. That is a silly claim that only leads to all sorts of problems. For instance, if you use method="post" because XHTML specification says everything should be in lower case, you will have problems with some browsers and e-mail programs that only accept POST in upper case and fallback to GET when they find something else. Also, keep in mind that you can't use Javascript in HTML e-mail messages. These may not be your actual problems, but at least you have something to start checking. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.metastorage.net/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/
