Hi,

So, is it possible to post to php in an .exe file instead of a .swf displayed inside a browser?

If so, how? I figured if you just created the .exe on the server with the .php file in the same folder

it would read it and work fine.

This doesn't seem to be the case... any ideas? Does it always have to go through a browser page?

thanks

It is possible to call a PHP file from an EXE. Make sure that you have th PHP file in the webroot of your webserver (IIS or Apache). Also, make sure that you use the server path..for example: http://localhost/myapp/myphpfile.php. It should work!

PERFECT!!!

It wasn't working even though both were on the server in the same folder but once I added a fully qualified address to it. It works from any computer on the network.

Thanks a ton!
