You do realize that the other web-site has a REAL GOOD probability of not responding to the GET URL at all, or at least not correctly, right? And that if you Google for "Rasmus PostToHost" you'll find a function that lets you send POST data to that other website, just as if you had filled out the form "by hand", right? So I can't begin to see *why* you would want to convert to GET style... That said, you should be able to use http://php.net/preg_match to find all the type="hidden" bits, and then another preg_match to find the name="..." bits, and another preg_match to find all the value="..." bits. One tricky part is that they *could* flip-flop the order of the name/value parts and still be in HTML spec. So you need to decide if it's worth worrying about that, or if they are consistent enough to not do that, and you can just ignore that wrinkle. There also could be inputs that are things the user actually *types* and you'd need to detect those and program something useful to go into them. Also be sure, in any case, that you send the name/value on the Submit button as well -- Some applications rely on that being there to work. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
