You'll actually want to do a little more than that, i.e. read the socket and dump it to the browser so that the output from the page you're posting to gets displayed. There is another version of that function around that handles that too. I can post it later today if nobody else finds it first.

If you're partial to the approach of using a web-based program to do this (often a bad idea, for security reasons) then look at 'curl' or 'wget' instead of 'lynx'. (you can find them on Freshmeat.net) Much better is to build the CGI version of PHP, and use PHP as a script processor just like Perl

In Oracle, 'long' is a variable-length character data column up to 2GB in size. Roughly equivalent to 'text' in mysql, I think. You can also use 'blob', 'clob' and/or 'nclob' instead, but I think access to those types is less straightforward than the 'long' type. - Tim http://www.phptemplate
