VB Send Text to PHP help

[johndoe]

Ok, what I want to do is I want to make a program that will let you enter text in a Visual Basics program and send with a command button to a PHP address.

[dclamp]

well this would be visual basic code, not php code.

What you are going to want to use is the Inet contol or winsock control. Here is a winsock example

[johndoe]

Yeah but this can be done so much more easyer look this is what I want look at this guys PHP he has a chatroom in his vb program and it sends the text to a php.

umm i think there is a cuss word in there so it is censored...

But anyway, it is most likely a PHP post or get request that is being sent, and you will need to use the winsock control.

What you want to do involves no php code whatsoever.

I'm actually looking into this as well, as I need a way to check a mysql database for registered names. As of now, the only way I know of is using the 'SendKey' function. Here's an example:

Dim p As String
Dim u As String
u = Text3.Text
p = Text2.Text
 
    SendKeys "{tab}"
    SendKeys u
    SendKeys "{tab}"
    SendKeys p
    SendKeys "{enter}"

This is of course using a webbrowser control on the form. This is however unsecure. So if there's another way, I'd also be greatly appreciative for it.

Use Winsock as specified in post #2.

Use GET for idempotent requests; POST for non-idempotent (data changing).

Thank you, that actually clears it up quite well.. I guess I kind of skipped over that post ..
