This is implementation dependant (it's using an array they've created
(monthNames should be defined futher up the page within a script tag) so
it
could be anything)
Understood.
there doesn't appear to be a + in there though so it's
more likely selectDay=July02 or selectDay=0702 or selectDay=702.
The OP :
script
todayMonth = monthNames[today.getMonth() + 1];
document.write( 'option value=\' + todayMonth + '
' + today.getDate() + '\today/option');
I expected the todayMonth+ ' ' +

Re: [PHP] Getting Information from a CGI POST
Don,
Thanks for the info.
I'm a bit confused,
When I call the function, what is the syntax as it applies to my form?
ie:
openpost (dps2.usairways.com, /cgi-bin/fi, FltNum=2972 page=fi);
I know this doesn't work, but do you see what I mean?
Forgive my ignorance, I'm still learning :-)
Also, how do I set more than one NAME= VALUE= pair?
As a reference, here's the form I am getting the info from:
-
form name=flightStatusForm method=post
action=http://dps2.usairways.com/cgi-bin/fi;
input type=text name=FltNum size=6 maxlength=4/td
input type=hidden name=page value=fi
select class=bodytext name=selectDay size=1
script
todayMonth = monthNames[today.getMonth() + 1];
document.write( 'option value=\' + todayMonth + '
' + today.getDate() + '\today/option');
tomorrowMonth = monthNames[tomorrow.getMonth() + 1];
document.write( 'option value=\' + tomorrowMonth +
' ' + tomorrow.getDate() + '\tomorrow/option');
yesterdayMonth = monthNames[yesterday.getMonth() +
1];
document.write( 'option value=\' + yesterdayMonth
+ ' ' + yesterday.getDate() + '\yesterday/option');
/script
/select
/form

TIA!

Isn't there a way to have PHP go and check this onec every x minutes and
return the status?
Yep, there is.
Can this be done?
Yes.

you'll build the string yourself before the call:
$pstr='FltNum=2972page=fiselectDay=July+02';
$fp=openpost('dps2.usairways.com', '/cgi-bin/fi', $pstr);
// i'm not so sure about that selectDay, javascript ain't my thing.

RE: [PHP] Getting Information from a CGI POST
Can this be done? If so, can someone point me in the right direction? Specifically, how to get the CGI Post data returned from thier server? As a starting point, grab their form, including all the javascript associated with it, and put it onto your own page. Change the FORM tag to submit to a PHP script, and in that PHP script put ? phpInfo(); ? ... look at the data you get in, in either $HTTP_POST_VARS or $HTTP_GET_VARS and write a PHP script to replicate that data. Then, use PHP's curl functions to post or get that data to the remote CGI script. This would be hard to do for every airline though, since they all have different online forms.
