    No, Winsock is for everything Windows. It is not for PHP though.

    PHP can have socket support (depends on your particular setup). But I don't really think that's what the OP needs.

    OP: can you more clearly define your problem, please?

    Re: php form

    thnx for the replies ,

    what i mean is the socket thing

    http://nl3.php.net/sockets
    this is the thing i want it to do.
    client connects when form button is clicked
    server sends reply "202"
    client replies with the form data
    (the form only exists of textboxes)
    server sends "200"
    and client closes the socket

    does this make clear what i want to do?

    No. Who is the client, who is the server?

    Re: php form

    website = client
    client connects to server
    server = an application

    Re: php form

    And this is just HTTP?

    If you can, use PEAR::HTTP_Request or PEAR::HTTP_Client
    http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Request
    http://pear.php.net/package/HTTP_Client

    I don't get the two-request thing, though. HTTP is more or less stateless, so there's no reason to make two requests. Just send the first with all the form data and check if the server replies with a success.
