Automatic submission of form variables

[Mikeinutah]

Hi,

I was wondering if a form can be programmed to automatically be submitted without someone clicking on a submit button.

I need to send some hidden variables to another site for processing and there is no need to have the user click on a button. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Check cpan for the LWP::Simple module, particularly the get() function. Instead of making a form with hidden values to submit to another script, you can just call that script with those values directly before you submit the response page back to the user. Works easier with GET than POST, but many scripts don't care how it's called.

For further details, google for lwpcook.
