PHP Advice

Hello,

I have got a page on a separate server on separate hosting (obviously) and I want to connect to the URL by http://blahblah.com/blah.php and send stuff from a form by POST to it, then I want to store all the text/source of the content that appears when this data is posted to the file as a variable.

How can I do that?

:)

Just collect it normally like


$txtSource = $_POST['txtSource'];


Unless I'm misunderstanding something.

No, I want the PHP on my page to post information from a form on my page to a page on another website, and store what the website shows as a variable on my page. so it's posting to another host and getting the page from another host. it's not getting posted to.

But I think you gota open the file before writing :P

Take a look at cURL :)

You don't need cURL? You can just to a normal form that submits to another site, then on the other site write the data to a file normally.

Oh yeah I thought he was doing it from just a script and not from a form :) Misunderstood :P

I don't think you can fopen on remote urls.

How does the other site write the data back to the original site?

You're not explaining this well enough.. why don't you give us some examples on what would be sent, and what you want it to do with it..

It doesn't, just set sessions before its posted to the external site.

Ok, I want to put a form to upload an mp3 file on my website, it then goes to a page on another website, which uploads it and then the content of the page that is seen after that contains the link (http://) on its own. No HTML or anything, just the URL. How do I get that URL?

[Dentafrice]

Post the form directly to the page on the other site, then redirect back with the data..?

On your upload script, just do:



header( 'Location: http://www.mysite.com/return.php?data=' . $imageURL' );

But how do I get the page to send the data to the upload page, then be ready to receive data back, and what if two people do it at the same time?

[Dentafrice]

It's not going to matter.. just post the data from the page, directly to the upload page..?
