sungo Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hey guys, kinda new to PHP here. I am trying to play around with retrieving data from a website via CGI. I can do this with the HTML POST form: <FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/kashi.cgi" METHOD="POST"> <INPUT NAME="file_no" value="29638"> <INPUT NAME="idkdk" value="klflg;fl"> <INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> </FORM> Is there any way to automate this with PHP so I don't have to press a submit button and it just auto load the data?

sungo Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 It's cross server. So I'd be running the script on my server to POST to the other server to grab the data. Any ideas?
