acidglitter Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I was wondering.. how could I make something that could go to a page that I send it to, and then come back with specific information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 PHP can be used to create forms that capture data submitted by the user.PHP can be used to open other pages and / or files on the internet and pull data from them.If neither of those answer your question, then be more specific.

acidglitter Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Okay, so I know now that what I want to do is PHP, but how can I do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Like to send data from one page to another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexcmm Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yea, I would say that you need to be more specific... what exactly is it that you want to accomplish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidglitter Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 I want to make a code that can go to another persons website, then come back and put info from that site in a mysql database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well, that's slightly less vague than before.I'd suggest doing some research (start with Google, of course) on [b]screen scraping[/b]. That will give you a much better idea of what's possible and allow you to begin coding yourself and/or frame a much more specific question.

acidglitter Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Alright so.. I found this page[url=http://www.csharpfriends.com/Articles/getTip.aspx?articleID=210]http://www.csharpfriends.com/Articles/getTip.aspx?articleID=210[/url]thats exactly what I was looking for...But now I have a new problem. It has a code on that page, but how do I save it?I use notepad for pretty much everything and I saved it in there (and as a .aspx) but when I viewed it on my site it showed up like a .txt file would (showing the words and tags) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I could be totally off-base here, but I believe ASP is a Microsoft technology. So if your webhost isn't running a windows server you could be SOL.Again, I could be totally wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidglitter Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 I'm pretty sure my webhost runs a windows server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
