[RESOLVED] POSTing from winapp

[grilkip]

Hi, I want to use a windows app to POST data to a website.

The website stores the data in a database.

I need to know wether I actually need to download the resulting page to make sure the php code on the other end gets executed and the data is stored.

The one case I've tested I didn't need to.

Hope I've made myself clear, any insight would be appreciated.

edit: it needs to be done for a great number of different pages, that's why I am not sure after my first test.

You are not required to collect the response back, but it is wise to check that it succeeded. A HTTP reponse of 200 or 3xx will be returned if the HTTP reuqest was successful.

However, If you want to know whther the script processed the data successfully, it is a good idea to return another number in the body of the response indicate what if anything happened.

I see, the scripts are not under my control so I can't change them.

But your answer pleases me.

If you look at the example app in my signature, you''l be able to see the kind of responses you get.
