Re: How to save something in a Java Applet as an IMAGE file?

Hi Phil Thanks so much for your response, I did check out the site but the applet takes forever to load n a 56 k modem. Is it possible for me to take a look at this CGI program? If not, I would really appreciate a bit more detailed idea to POST the data to a PHP program. How to this in Java? Thanks!
