NArc0t1c Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Use post, and a form. <?php // The url. $url = 'http://www.something.com/something.php'; //Posting data.. if (isset($_POST['submit'])){ if (empty($_POST['cid'])){ $cid = ''; } else { $cid = '?id=' . $_POST['cid']; } // Get file's contents. $file = file_get_contents($url . $cid); echo $file; exit; } // The form. echo ' <form action="something.php" method="post"> <input type="text" name="cid"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="go">'; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
