Look for <form action="some-web-page" method="XXX" ...>
 
action tells you where the form fields are sent.
 
method tells you if the server is expecting the data to be sent using a GET
or POST command; GET is the default. In the case of GET, the arguments go
into the URL. If method is POST, follow the instructions in the manual.
 
Hope that helps.

Subject: php form


        There is a database on a web server (to which I have access) that is
accessible via username/password.  The only way for users to access the
database is to use a form with search criteria and then press a button that
starts a php script that produces a web page with the results of the search.
 
        I have a couple of questions:
 
1.  Is there any easy way to know exactly what commands are behind the
button, to duplicate them?
 
2.  If so, then do I just use the POST command as described in the manual,
after logging in (per the manual), to get the data it provides.  
 
        I have used wget just a little, but I am completely new to php.  
 
                                                            Thanks, Alan
