Connect to PHP website, and pass params

winsock, right?

I'd recommend using a library like libcurl for posting data: http://www.curl.haxx.se

--trigger-happy

Any examples of use?

Right, I found a POST example:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl;
  CURLcode res;

  char *postthis="moo mooo moo moo";

  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://mydomain.com/page.php");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, postthis);

    /* if we don't provide POSTFIELDSIZE, libcurl will strlen() by
       itself */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, strlen(postthis));

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
  return 0;
}


And I've copied the curl/.. lib into Dev-C++'s include folder, and have pointed my the directories within my Compiler Options to it, but am getting linker errors:

Hm, bloody hell. I didn't realise... everything within the 'Include' folder within the Libcurl download are mere header files!

lol <btw, I meant that in a funny and sarcastic manner; not offensive>

I'm not sure what IDE you're using but you have to find a way to make it link to the curl library (you have to add "-lcurl" there).
