Re: [SLUG] fetching POSTed file

[Rob Sharp <rob.sharp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

A good starting point would be the CURL library. You could POST the
data to the other system, and screen-scrape the response by capturing
it into a variable.

http://au2.php.net/curl

A little busy at the mo, so cant do you any sample code!
