Send/receive data.

[joethetree]

Hey,

 

I'm trying to send a form input to a page, and then get the response (as in, the body) from that page without leaving my PHP script.

 

So instead of when you normally submit a form and it will take you to the 'action="/somepage"'. I want it to get that information and bring it back to the original page. No navigation should happen.

 

I'm almost certain this is possible, but the only thing I've found at the moment requires a custom addon - which, isn't on most hosting sites.

 

Sorry if I haven't described this very well, but any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks

<form name="input" action="" method="get">

 

You leave the action empty.

 

Use w/e method you use.

I still need to send the request to another script, just not go to that script.

 

So I need the data back from the request, like doing a file_get_contents() on the page, but with the response from a submitted form.

Then using ajax is the answer.
