PHP and HTTP POST???

I am currently working on a website that will allow a program to Post a HTTP Page on it.. But i have no clue how to do this. any help would be greatly appriciated, Thanks

 

can you elaborate?

 

hmm... Ok well i made a program, that is able to set certain variables to something.
Ex) $var = "Variable"

But i'm not sure how to make it so that the webpage will allow these changes to be made. I pretty much need the program to temporarly be able to change parts of the scripting on the site.

 

Figured it out, thanks everyone

 

Pick up "php for dummies", not that you are a dummy, but it is a great starter book. I read it nearly a decade ago and it set the pace for a great career.... but afterwards you need to upgrade to cookbooks and such to further your understanding of php.

 

Since no explanation was given even though he figured it out, here's how it's done.

First give your html input boxes a name attribute, for example: <input type="text" name="test" />

When the form's submitted, you can get the variable with the $_POST array like so:

$test = $_POST['test'];

It's also worth noting, you should clean any inputted data with trim, mysql_real_escape_string etc.
