Any software that can interact with PHP pages?

[Gary_King]

Are there any software that can run on someone's desktop and interact with a PHP website? For instance, what about a program where there are 3 textfields, one for username, one for password (both for authentication) and then one for the dynamic text?

Maybe the dynamic text would be a marquee that scrolls across the top of a webpage but just editing the text in the software would change it (maybe the software could submit it all using the POST method as a form?)

So are there already software like this for this very purpose?
Take a look at the screenshot for more info on what I'm looking for.

Sounds like you don't really need to interact with PHP, but maybe just a database storing the text. In that case, almost any programming language will do...

I know, but it would be more convenient (and also I would learn some more C++) if I was able to create a small, ~30 kb program where someone could enter the information, etc.

I don't think there is any reason why you couldn't write a program that small that could just interact with a db. T'would probably solve your problem.

It's for developers who want to update the status of whatever they're doing but don't always have a browser open, so they can have a small prog that runs in systray 🙂
