Ray_Paseur is correct. &nbsp;If you are confused on the C Programming side, look into <a href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/postit2.html" rel="ugc">libcurl</a>. &nbsp;Using libcurl you can send information via C including POST data.

I have an embedded microcontroller that has a working TCP/IP stack written in C, provided by Microchip.<br />
<br />
I wish to Post a single phrase &quot;TestPhrase&quot; to a field called &quot;Data&quot; at URL <a href="http://www.demoURL.com/TestData.php" rel="ugc">http://www.demoURL.com/TestData.php</a><br />
<br />
I need to be able to post this phrase using C only.<br />
<br />
I currently know the basics of html and nothing about PHP.<br />
<br />
How should I achieve this?<br />

Many thanks, Jamist

How to Post data to a PHP webpage from an embedded C application using TCP/IP?

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
