Posting variables to a asp script?

Anon

Hi, I hope this is not a to simple question for you guys, but I am still a newbie, so you will have to bare with me.

I want to send som variables from my server to a remote asp script that sends sms. The point is to notify myself about new users and posts on my website. I have the html form that is fully functional; it looks in its simplest form like this:

<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<FORM ACTION="http://sms.idea.pl/sendsms.asp" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" NAME="komunikat">
<table>
<tr>
<td>From:</td>
<td>
<input name="SENDER" value="" maxlength="25" size=25>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>to:</td>
<td>
<input name="RECIPIENT" value="" maxlength="9" size=16>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>message</td>
<td >
<textarea name="SHORT_MESSAGE" rows=4 cols=40 length=10 wrap="physical"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type = "SUBMIT" value="send" onClick="return checkFields(document.forms[0]);" name="SUBMIT">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</FORM>
</body>

I just want to send the variables SENDER, RECIPIENT and SHORT_MESSAGE to the http://sms.idea.pl/sendsms.asp script with
php.

I will be happy for any suggestions.
Thank you for your help!
Jacob.

can you send it in the form of a querystring or do the variables have to be in the header?

Hi, again.

Well to be honest I do not Know this. If you could shortly elaborate on the solution you had in mind, I could try.

Thank you.

He hasn't given you a solution yet. He's asking if the ASP script gets the variables from GET or POST?

OK, I see.

It gets the variables from POST as you can see in the html form. I do not have the asp scrip and I only know that the html form works. I`m trying to learn about POST and GET right now.

OK, i now know that I can open this link:

http://sms.idea.pl/sendsms.asp?sender=myname&recipient=505XXXXXX&validity_period=72&short_message=theSMS

and that does it!

So infact what I need to know is how to make the script just open this link when it is run(ok, I know it is simple but...........).

I have tryed to use fsockopen() but without any luck. what functions can I Use?

Hope you hav time to help me:-)

It was easy of course

<?
$fp = fopen ("http://sms.idea.pl/sendsms.asp?sender=myname&recipient=505XXXXX&validity_period=72&short_message=sms", "w");
?>

But you probably already know that:-)

Hmm..you should probably open it in "r" mode. You won't write to it anyway so there's no point in using "w" mode.
