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?

Re: [PHP] function to post data
Or use such method: 1. create form with $PHP_SELF as action 2. in the beginning of php script check if form was posted and if was check it for correctness 3. if form is ok, save post data and then redirect user with Header(to certain page) 4. if form is bad, stay at this script and display both: error messages and form fields hope that helps; at least it helped me greatly, especially in saving my time Valentin Petruchek (aki Zliy Pes) *** Cut the beginning *** http://zliypes.com.ua mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Lars Torben Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 6:06 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] function to post data On Wed, 2002-02-06 at 19:32, obo wrote: 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.
