doa24uk Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 hi guys, ok here's what I wanna do. I will be collecting variables from a process & then I need to open a new page (unseen to user - can this be done?) and paste the text from the variable into a text box on the new page. Only problem is that the text box is on an off-site page so I can't play with the coding & therefore insert the text easily. Is this do-able or not?

DarkWater Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 You'd probably want to check out the cURL library?

xtopolis Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Maybe ranj.. is hungry. You could use Ajax if you force javascript to be enabled, depends what you mean by 'new page'.. I am assuming it's for your records since you said unseen to the user... so you could use ajax in the background to post those fields to a storage of some sort(db,flatfile,etc)..

No, it's on another site. He needs cURL.

xtopolis Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 @Dark Yes, while I misread, it's still valid as we don't exactly know how s/he's collecting. Data from a form submission: cURL while it's being processed; Data from something that's not necessarily posted back to the server, javascript to capture data, ajax to the same server, cURL in the background S/He needs to identify the "process" s/he's using if there are futher inquiries.
