Retrieve remote asp file's POST results

Anon

Here's what I need to do. Call a remote asp file: "http://www.whatever.com/whatever.asp/?value1=1"

And then retrieve that asp file's results which are returned via POST variables. How do I retrieve those POST vars?

Thanks,
Jeff

when the asp page posts to your page the variables will be available like "$var_name", so if the asp guy/gal says that the page will post var of name data and value "some data" then in your script use "echo $data;" to output what the asp page posted to your page

You question is confusing. POST is a method for sending data to that remote server, not the format of the retrieved data. And the example URL that you gave is a GET, not a POST.

To GET a page from a remote server, with args:

$page = file('http:/http://www.whatever.com/whatever.asp/?value1=1/');

$page now is an array of lines; you may wish to implode() it.

If the remote server requires that variables be passed as POST and not as GET, then you should look here:
