Thanks,,
are we talking about something like this?
<?PHP
// MovieInfo.php on my site
IF ($submit=="submit"){ // user has submited request for movie info
// run the remote script and get the answer:
movie_site = fopen("http://www.site.com/MovieResponder.php?star="; .
urlencode($star) . "&year=" . urlencode($year), "r");
$movie_info = fread($movie_site, 10240);
fclose($movie_site);
echo"your movie info is: ";
echo ($movie_info);
}
else{
<form action=<?php Echo $PHP_SELF ?> >
star: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="star" >
year: <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="year" >
<INPUT TYPE="submit" value="submit">
</FORM>
}
?>
