Getting information via Inet

I've got this code to send information via Inet.

VB Code:

strMsg = Replace(Text2.Text, vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf, "</p><br /><p>")
strMsg = Replace(strMsg, vbCrLf & vbCrLf, "</p><p>")
strMsg = "<p>" & Replace(strMsg, vbCrLf, "<br />") & "</p>"
 
Inet1.OpenURL ("http://www.mysite.com/admin/test.php?body=" & strMsg)

Can I do it the other way around now, say enter 3 to a txtbox then

VB Code:

Inet1.OpenURL ("http://www.mysite.com/admin/getinfo.php?id=" & tetxbox1.text)

and with this populate the rest of my boxes with it's info???

can this be done??

Are you asking if you can login to a website and then populate textboxes via the inet control? If so then yes you can.

VB Code:

'Initialize variables.
  lStart = 1
  lEnd = 1
  sFindStart = "<p>" 'Enter the text preceding the information you want here
  sFindEnd = "</p>" 'Enter the text Following the information you want here
  ssource = Inet1.OpenURL ("http://www.yoursite.com") 'obviously your site info goes here.
    'Get the document text.
 
    
    'Find the start position.
  lStart = InStr(lStart, sSource, sFindStart, vbTextCompare)
  
  'Find the end postion only if the start text is found.
      If lStart Then
      
          'Add the length of the search text.
              lStart = lStart + Len(sFindStart)
          
          lEnd = InStr(lStart, sSource, sFindEnd, vbTextCompare)
          
          If lEnd > lStart Then
              Text1.Text = Mid$(sSource, lStart, lEnd - lStart)
           
          Else
              Debug.Print "End text not found."
          End If
          
      Else
      
          Debug.Print "Text not found."
          
      End If

This will find text between 2 html tags (or any other specific text in the source) and place it in Text1.Text. You have to make sure that the info in sFindStart and sFindEnd is unique, or it will just find the first instance it comes across.

You can do this for each variable you need.

Hope that is what you're after.

My website, getinfo.php connects to my MySQL DB. I want each feild from my DB to be in it's own text box on my VB program.

So how to i get the right information in the right place

You could make getinfo.php use echo() to print each of the fields from the DB, seperated by something (like ***).
You could then use Split() to seperate the fields in your program and put each one in a textbox array
