any PHP/HTML experts here?

Hi guys...

I need to submit a web form in a automatic way...
The form uses "action=" and "method="POST""
I can easely gather the information I need to send, including the "hidden" names and values...
But how do i arrange this data in my httprequest?
It would be MUCH easier to simulate a click on the submit button, but it is somehow iludding me...

Use the Javascript submit method

Use the Javascript submit method.

Example form:
<form name="myform" action="handle-data.php">
</form>

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
document.myform.submit();
</SCRIPT>

The other option is to really not interact with the form at all and just send the information, in a POST method call.


Post is pretty simple really, all you need to do is create a string (in this example s) that is of the format varable=answer&varable=answer the answers must be URLencoded.

Other than that all I am doing is setting the method to POST and telling the server to expect everything in URLencoded form.

wwwreq is of corse a http request object and bit is a bitwize object, and writer is a binaryfile object.
