Hello Bill, By "accessing PHP scripts", do you just mean getting the results from the web server execution of PHP or actual access to the PHP script itself? If the former, web programming is very easy in modern versions of Windows. Most development platforms have libraries or classes that allow a basic web client (a page grabber) to be build in just a few lines of code. The native Windows library is called WinINet and is well documented on the Microsoft site and many others. I don't see any reason (within the constraints of string sizes) why the WinINet API could not be called from MapBasic but a more elegant implementation is achievable from a DLL.

I'm particularly looking for techniques for retrieving PHP-generated page content. I can send URLs via MapBasic and thus trigger the PHP scripts, but retrieving any results using only APIs and MapBasic seems tricky at best. - Bill Thoen --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 12972 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 12973
