[RESOLVED] Reading php hidden fields

[batori]

Hi guys...

After many hours of packet sniffing and coding...i coulnd manage to get "all" the data from a url (php) with winsock....

I founf out that DHTMLEdit1 , the control, can read entire pages...i dont acutally know how to use it :S


Well i wanted to ask is there a way to get all the data with winsock,even the data stored in hidden forms?

If your meaning of "hidden form" is a html form, or partial of a web page, that is not displayed by the browser (can be hide by using CSS, for example), that is not a problem, because the form (and all of its properties) will be in the html document. You just have to parse the html doc to get the values! Open up the html in notepad, and look for the form, that you wanna extract. If you found it in notepad, that means the html parser is you are after.

In case, the web page is using Ajax (or similar) techniqes, that may be a bit difficult, but still possible.
