RE: [PHP] How program automatic 'filler forms' robots?

You need to tell PHP to input the value and you should be using "'s example: <input type="text" name="driver" length="20" value="<?php echo $_GET['driver']; ?>"> This example assumes you are using at least PHP 4.1, also you may use $_REQUEST instead of $_GET if you are going to be using both GET and POST methods.

Hello John, thanks for your reply. suppose this form into myurl.html (i will replace < and > by [ and ] to avoid unwanted url treatment into msgs) [form] [input type=text name=driver length=20] [input type=text name=os length=20] [/form] I figured could open myurl.html already with filled values by calling http://.../myurl.html?driver=midi&os=windows but it appears not working. I regularly program PHP and pass url parameters in this way to my php scripts successully. My problem is as follow: there are many forms around web I will need fill regularly with values at every week (or months). My idea is to create a database with these web urls, containing all info needed to fill automatically these forms. Probably will need to store info about these pages uses get or post commands, I really don't know how to begin with. At every week, I would call my PHP script and browse all these urls and automatically fill values to call pages with values already filled. I even don't know how my 'robot' could send button action commands to these forms. Ok, thats all. Thanks for any info on this subject.
