is there a command in php to post form data to a script? example: i have a form. once the submit is hit i use php to check the values. if the values are ok i then call a function to post the data. thanks.

This is a fairly common request. Your best bets are to search for 'posttohost' in the mailing list archives, or just use cURL: http://www.php.net/curl ...which will more than likely satisfy any posting cravings you may have. :)

I don't mean to butt in here, I'm just a bit confused. I thought that the poster ("obo") was asking how to submit form variables using POST. For the purpose of doing more work with these variables, from a (PHP) script. Is obo asking something different here? I read about posttohost yesterday (someone provided a link) but I didn't see the purpose behind this process. What is it for? Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
