<form method="post" action="https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?" name="login_form"> <input type="hidden" name=".done" value="http://mail.yahoo.com"> <input name="login" id="username" value="" size="17" type="text" maxlength="96"> <input name="passwd" id="passwd" value="" size="17" type="password" maxlength="64"> <input type="submit" name=".save" value="Sign In"> </form> HTML: It isn't PHP just HTML but you should be able to use this form to log in to your Yahoo mail account.
There is no "PHP Form" Forms are html. PHP processes the form or PHP can output blocks of the html, but stoli's form should work. Just substitute php where you need to.
I think yahoo login has some hidden vars as well, you might have to do a view source on yahoo's login page to get some idea.
You may also have to forge the referrer if they check for that sort of thing. If all you want to do is check your Yahoo email from your own domain or something, just use Yahoo's API.
