I need to send some data to a php page on a web server, just a
short string like "abc2". I've read all I can find on the post
command in the documentation, but can't figure out how to format
the data so the php script will read it.
My stack:
contents of fld "uid": "abc2"
(I also tried [ name="netid" value="dna3" ] as the value of the
field. Sans the [].)
the post button script:
on mouseUp
post urlencode(fld "uid") to url fld "urlText" -- also tried
without urlencode
set the htmltext of fld "returnedText" to it
end mouseUp
The result returned makes it obvious that the php script
executed, but never received the value "abc2".
FWIW, the php script (one I wrote, that works when I hard code
everything) uses the $POST_[value name here] format to grab the
data. I am a neophyte in php land, but have used this method
successfully in the past to pass values from html forms.
There are no clear examples of how to do this in the docs, and
the list archive at http://lists.runrev.com seems to be offline
at the moment. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi Devin,
Maybe the problem is that you need to use ampersand to delimit the
name value pairs rather than space.
Here is how I format the data
put "any old text." into msgtext
put urlencode(msgtext) into msgtext
put "username" into tuser
put "username=" & tuser & "&message=" & msgtext into data
## note no spaces and the use of ampersand to delimit the
## name value pairs
## tuser is known not to require urlencoding
put "http://domain/path/document.php"; into phpurl
post data to url phpurl
Thanks Martin. That did the trick!
