POST data to page

[digiduck]

I need to POST data to another page all in code, I'm picturing something like this.

post_data.params.add("name", "value&quot
server.execute("url", post_data)

yes i know server.execute won't do that but you get it what i mean right? If someone could give me some code examples of how to do this it would be a great help. Thanks

Hi digiduck

You want to post to a page programtically and this page will return a result to your code? rather than the page being displayed in the browser?

If so you can use the System.Net.HttpWebRequest class to do this. Its pretty similar to XMLHTTP post in ASP.

Heres a link to the MSDN .NET class library which has some code exmaples..

You will need to pay particular attention to the ContentType property to correctly incode the data and add it to the request stream.

hope this helps

thank you i'll have a look at that. i'm actually executing a PHP script with params passed via POST. The script doesn't return anything it just executes and lets my page continue processing, more or less like a remote sub routine. thanks
