send login information to remote php page using headers?

[jihnd]

hi,

 

I'm developing a cms using filemaker pro and a php plugin which allows me execute php code from within the database (scodigo - its great, check it out!). My problem is, i want to be able to update a mysql database on the webserver from within filemaker, ie, a local machine. the web hosts say basically the only way to get in is via ssh, or a web page hosted on teir servers. currently the cluent uses a web-based cms, with a basic login. so i was wondering if i could send login information as a header, along with the database update fields as headers across to the existing cms, or more likely, a custom one i write on the webserver, to update the database?

 

i've done this in java, but not very experienced in php, so was looking for some hints - or am i going about this assbackwards and is there a better way?

 

cheers for reading!
