With register_globals off you will be accessing the query string variable with, $_GET['add_event'] Or if you send through a POST request, $_POST['add_event']
You can simulate posting a form by opening an HTTP socket connection and sending the POST request manually. Search for the posttohost() function on Google or this mailing list.. you'll find dozens of references. Although in your case I doubt you will be needing it. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Kaiser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 10:17 AM Subject: [PHP] Forming HTTP Header to POST > Greetings, > > With register_globals off, I can no longer call specific functions form my > PHP script by linking text/graphic as such: > > http://www.mysite.com/mydb/myevts.php?action=add_event > > What I need to do, of course, is get "add_event" sent in something like a > POST command.
