Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can tell me how to do this simply from VFP6. What I'd like to do is send an HTTP request to a PHP or Perl script from VFP. Basically, I DO NOT need to get anything back from the web-server via HTTP but simply post some data to a PHP or Perl script. In a web browser, an example might be:

http://www.somesite.com/somescript.php?Parameter=Value

Anyone know of a simple way to do this? Reliability of the connection (i.e. wether or not the post was successful) is not a great concern here because the PHP or Perl script will essentially take "Parameter" and do something with it, and then place a flag in a database that the VFP script is polling (in other words, this is to work with an existing app from VFP).

Any help would be much appreciated!
