$data="user_name=user&password=pass";

$ua=LWP::UserAgent->new;

$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file=>"cookie_jar.txt", autosave=>1));

my $req=new HTTP::Request Post =>
"http://www.somewebsite.com/login.cgi";
$req->content("$data");

my $res=$ua->request($req)->as_string;

$data="mrc_1=$ARGV[0]&x_1=$ARGV[1]&y_1=$ARGV[2]&z_1=$ARGV[3]&mrc_2=$ARGV[4]&x_2=$ARGV[5]&y_2=$ARGV[6]&z_2=$ARGV[7]&mrc_3=$ARGV[8]&x_3=$ARGV[9]&y_3=$ARGV[10]&z_3=$ARGV[11]&f_movement=Execute";

$req=new HTTP::Request Post =>
"http://www.somewebsite.com/info.cgi";

$req->content("$data");

$res=$ua->request($req)->as_string;

print $res;

I guess this script is used in a shell (interactive shell, i.e command line). PHP is aimed at running on web servers, and a php script cannot be run in a shell (on the command line). So be more precise, or keep using perl for creating command line utilities.

Actually, PHP is great for command line also. I use it all the time. Just compile php as a cgi, you now have a binary you can use to execute php on the command line. Just put #!/path/to/php at the top of the script.

True but I was planning on calling this script via form action just like any other script. There are just some perl mods used in the script which I am not sure of the equilivant in PHP, any help would be much appriciated.
