post form automatically

isolated

Hi there.
I have a little problem here.
I have a form
<form action=add.php method=post >
<input type="hidden" name="number" value="2" >
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="some walue" >
<input type=submit value="ok" >

and i want this form to execute without my help, i mean computer shuold take values from db and do the same, as if i write those values.
I tried
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://my-www/send.php");
and curl and unluckily curl is not installed
fsock didn't work out too...

Maybe anybody have any ideas how to do this?

Why even have a form if you just have a button that says OK why not just use a header() (provided you have no output on that page and pass those two variales and values with the url?

header("Location: add.php?number=2&subject=somevalue");

then use either $GET or $REQUEST for the values.

Thanks for reply but i think you miss understood me...
I have a php script(the form) that must be executed hourly lets say.
What shuold i use, so as i didn't have to do it by my self, and pc did it for me(reloaded script)

p.s the way you wrote with header didn't work for me...

Houdini

It won't work if there is any output before calling a header() function, if you placed that code after the form code then the OK button was output and it would fail and issue warning about could not resend.... blah bash started in such and such,

What you might want is a cron job, just do a google and the cron job will execute the script for you at intervals that you set.

yes... i tried searching cron but you see i have no console access and as far i know cron works only this way...

Maybe there are any other ways to do this

well... you can always do what I did once (back when my webserver was on windows2000/apache) just have task scheduler open the page every hour... so that a remote PC can load it and it will process
