HTTP POST from VB app to PHP script

[majik92]

Hello,

I'm in the process of rewriting a program I wrote in LUA to VB.NET.
So, I am still learning the language (VB). I just have a question...

I have a windows form called "mainPage". I want to connect to the
Internet while loading. I know that I have to put the code in the Load
event for the form. Basically I want the app to send a value (latest =
1) to a remote PHP script (http://www.example.com/latest.php) using
the HTTP POST method.

I've tried using Visual Studio 2005's help topics with not luck...

I was hoping someone could help me here. Thank you.

This is a VB "classic" newsgroup. Questions about VB.NET (including VB 2005,
which has dropped .NET from its name) are off-topic here.

Please ask .NET questions in newsgroups with "dotnet" in their names. The
*.vb.* groups are for VB6 and earlier. If you don't see the *.dotnet.*
groups on your news server, connect directly to the Microsoft server:
msnews.microsoft.com.

For questions specific to the VB.NET language, use this group:
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

Please note that things like controls and data access, which have their own
subgroups in the Classic VB hierarchy, are not language-specific in .NET, so
you should look for groups like these:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet
(Note that "vb" is not present in the group name.)

You've got me confused now. That's three different languages you've quoted.

wellcome aboard...

I have a windows form called "mainPage". I want to connect to the
Internet while loading. I know that I have to put the code in the Load
event for the form. Basically I want the app to send a value (latest =
1) to a remote PHP script (http://www.example.com/latest.php) using
the HTTP POST method.

To send an http request, you'll probably want to use the UploadString
method of the System.Net.WebClient class.

Note, however, that if you want your form to paint itself *before*
actually connecting the web, you'll probably prefer to send your
request from the FormShown event instead of using the Load event.

HTH.

Branco.

No problem:
in vb6 I used winsock control, in vb.net you can use tcpclient.
I sent following data(some parameters have to be changed: script path,
server path, filename, file content):
