    I have a company that would like to send me lead info via HTTP post values, but I have not clue how this works. Here is what they request I set up:

    1. Prepare a URL that is able to receive HTTP POST values, e.g http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/your/direcotry/getfeeds.php

    2. Receive the following parameters and process them within your application.
    - fname
    - lname
    - email
    - url
    - keywords
    - title
    - desc
    - address
    - city
    - state
    - zip
    - address
    - country
    - phone
    - ip
    - source

    Is this a pretty technical thing (I am technical, but I've never done this before)? Does anyone have a good source of info they could point me to that would explain to me in detail how to set this up? Thanks in advance!

    That's simple.
    Create file on your server (getfeeds.php) and handle variables listed above as POST variables.

    You need a server side programming language to handle this. What language do you know? If none, then that's the first step short of hiring someone.

    Sounds like this is over my head. I'd be happy to pay someone to set this up for me.... make an offer!
