i know you can do this with opening firefox or IE and having it typed in then pressing enter, but i was wondering if this can be done without using another program

Easy. Check out IE.au3 in the beta. There are lots of examples in the helpfile and in the forum.

Edit: This will get you started...

#include <IE.au3>
$oIE = _IECreate("http://www.eqrankings.com/add.php")
$oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName($oForm, "add")
$oPid = _IEFormElementGetObjByName($oForm, "pid")
_IEFormElementSetValue($oPid, "your-pid")
_IEFormSubmit($oForm)

#Include <Inet.au3>

$ThingToSubmit = "123"

$Submit = _InetGetSource("http://www.eqrankings.com/add.php?pid=" & $ThingToSubmit)

If @Error = 1 Or StringInStr($Submit, "Error") Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Failed to submit data.")
ElseIf StringInStr($Submit, "You have successfully submited") Then
    MsgBox(0, "Success", $ThingToSubmit & " was successfully added to the database.")
EndIf

IE.au3 is over-rated

This only works if the action page is written to parse the query text.

Welcome to the forums -- I think you may be starting off on the wrong foot however.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to bash you. I was just saying that there is circumstances that it can be done easier.
