And PHP isnt able to be a client? so whats HTTPClient class from PECL for?

Expand your scope!

He quest about sending data client like. Sending a file field works fine.

Hi, George interpreted my question correctly.  George (and anyone
else), regarding your question

> Do you really need it to be input=3Dfile? can't you just load the file, ba=[/color
]
se64_encode it

I guess it doesn't have to be input=3Dfile.  But when you say "load the
file", what do you mean?  Thanks, - Dave

Thanks.  As I write the script, I will post more.  On the server end,
how do I retrieve the file?  For example, in the wget command, I can't
see how you specify the file's parameter name. - Dave

Don't even try to use wget.  Rather, use http and submit the file from
your server to the other server.

Google on File upload cURL.

Only if you have installed PHP on the client system.  How many
non-developers do you know have PHP installed?  Get real.

In this case, if you look at his later comments, it IS client end he
wants to use PHP.

I know of several.  In fact, there are very good reasons for using it
as a client.

Of course it can.  We use php as a client on our NNTP servers to query
a mysql database on another server for authentication.  It works even
better than the old perl script we used before it.

Don't hold your breath.  If stuckie doesn't understand how to do it,
it either doesn't exist or isn't possible.  He can't admit he's wrong
about anything.   "Don't try to use wget", heh. Fool.

WGET is probably a much better piece of code than CURL is and of
course a much more powerful one, but everybody can use whatever he/she
wants to.

CURL has the advantage of being integrated right into PHP and that's
why many of us prefer it.

Dave, take a look at GNU's documentation for WGET, it will explain
everything you need to know about what you have to do in order to
achieve your purpose.

Regarde,
George Maicovschi.

Hi George, I'm looking at the GNU docs, as you suggested --
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ma...P-Options.html,
but I'm not seeing what the parameter name is of the file passed to
the server.  If you tell me this one time, I guarantee I won't post
any more today!

Thanks, - Dave
