Http Form Post

[KashKurcura]

A internet company is suplying me with information and the information is sent via HTTP FORM POST that contains a plain ASCII text to a URL that I specify. Does anyone know how I would go about retrieving the POST?

Any help would be great!

Thank You,
KKurcura

You need a script at the URL you give them that can handle the key/value pairs from the HTTP POST request.

thanks for the reply. would you be able to give me a sample of how I would go about the handling of the key/value pairs? I'm not to sure how I would go about doing that.

Thanks,

If your URL looks like this ...

http://mysite.com/myscript.php?name=theeper

where 'name' is the key and 'theeper' is the value.

You would maybe have a script that looks like this.

<?
echo $_POST['name'];
?>

If you are using PHP v 4+ with register_globals=off, the above would work.

If you have register_globals=on, you could do this...

<?
echo $name;
?>
