You just fsockopen to port 80, compose a valid POST HTTP request and write it out. If you have file uploads in the original form, life gets slightly more complex, as you have to compose a more complicated POST, I guess, but it should still be a lot easier than you may be thinking. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

If you really must do this, the easiest way would be to have the CGI call out to a PHP script, rather than trying to intercept the request itself. Alternatively, do an AJAX request in the onsubmit for the form that does the PHP bit, and if the response is good, then post the form. -Stut -Original Message- From: blackwater dev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 9:45 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] php forcing a post??
