I have a php script which scrape the url of on image from a webpage (with permission) by using parameters which i send from my app using PostString.

This is part of the php script which is working perfect when launched from my browser, i use a simple html dom parser:

B4X:
  $url= "http://www.somesite.com/". $_POST['name'];
  $page = file_get_html($url);
  $doc = new DOMDocument();
  @$doc->loadHTML($page);
  $images = $doc->getElementsByTagName('img');

  //sleep(3);

  foreach($page->find('img') as $element)
    {
echo  $profile_picture = $element->src;
    }

To test this i've just created an html form and by input the field name, it works perfectly but
when i execute the script from my app by passing name parameter with poststring it does not work,
i get nothing back, like the scraping part of code it is not executed. (i know the rest script is executed because from the app i pass many other parameters and they get written on db correctly)

B4X:
sendmessageJob.PostString("http://www.somesite.net/app/new.php", "name="&name.Text"")

What it could be?

Thank you
