Put it this way: If what you typed above *DID* work, what's to stop *ME* from copying whatever I want onto your server?... You probably need to use cURL to login to your livebox, and then POST the data into the newCrontab form handler. The basic idea is to use cURL to "fake out" the LiveBox into thinking that it's really you sitting there typing things. So you would want to have your browser open and go through the process "by hand" while you code your cURL script, and look at "View Source" in your browser for the LiveBox login, and what the cURL script gets, and then you POST the username/password to mimic a login, and then you will get back some Cookies, most likely, and then you should be able to send back those cookies and your new crontab into the form -- Essentially walking your PHP script through the exact same steps you would take to do it by hand. http://php.net/curl -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
