PHP Post

[Vindicator209]

Hi, I was wondering how I could pass variables to a php script.

At the moment, I'm automating a form submission by using the _IE functions, but I feel it would be much more efficient if I could directly send data to the php script that the form calls.

I tried _IENavigate(IE,"POST.php?name=NAME&class=CLASS") but it did not seem to work.

The form code is:

<form name='form' id='form' method='POST' action='POST.php'>
<input type='text' name='name' size='20' value="" />
<input type='text' name='class' size='30' value="" />
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit'/>

Thanks alot.

_WinHttpSimpleFormFill function

If you want to use IE.au3, there should be an undocumented _IENavigate2 or similar wich supports POST. Just open the include and search for it

As an alternative, you could open the form in the IE and then fill the form and submit it with _IEForm...

If you don't need IE or you want to be more independent, then the mentioned WinHTTP-library is a good choice. You can either send the POST directly or use FormFill to fill and send a form on a webpage.

This is the function I am using

Func _SendPing()
    Local $servername = "MyServer"
    Local $serverport = 80
    Local $ipconnection = -1
    Local $i, $r, $s, $t

    $t = ""
    For $i = 0 To (UBound($SysInfo, 1) - 1)
        $t &= "&" & $SysInfo[$i][0] & "=" & _UnicodeURLEncode($SysInfo[$i][1])
    Next
    $s = "POST /feedback/callhome.php HTTP/1.1" & @CRLF
    $s &= "Host: " & $servername & ":" & $serverport & @CRLF
    $s &= "From: " & @UserName & "@" & @ComputerName & @CRLF
    $s &= "User-Agent: DataPull/2.0" & @CRLF
    $s &= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & @CRLF
    $s &= "Content-Length: " & StringLen($t) & @CRLF & @CRLF
    $s &= $t
    TCPStartup()
    $ipconnection = TCPConnect(TCPNameToIP($servername), $serverport)
    $r = TCPSend($ipconnection, $s)
    Sleep(100)
    TCPShutdown()
EndFunc   ;==>_SendPing

$SysInfo is a 2 dimensional array of [variable name, value]

_UnicodeURLEncode() is from Dhilip89's UDF
