so i was trying to make a free obama buttons bot but my first approach wouldn't work well. and my 2nd approach had to deal with clicking or submitting a submit button on the webbrowser but i couldn't figure that out. if someone could tell me, that would be great appreciated. but now i came about a different approach and what i need to do is

find out how to fill in fields on a webbrowser with visual basic 6.0.

or

find out how to make a php file so that if i did domain.com/phpfile.php?email=rawr@gmail.com

it would fill in the email field and put rawr.

thanks in advance, ill try and find a reward for you :]

use get commands

that is how you 'get' variable information from the url in at least php on unix

ive never used php in vb though however i have 10 sites which i use it on

you can also turn on global variables in php4 and php5 and that automatically would do $email=rawr@gmail.com without using the get

however global variables can be a huge security flaw

thanks, ill look into that.

so on the php file that i have the form on

<?php

$email = $_GET['email'];

?>

that should do the trick?

[johnfoe]

yea it would work on a website at least


and then for the form you would just say value=<?=$email?>

the syntax of my example is different from yours since unix php starts by doing <? and ends with ?>

where as yours might be something like

value=<php>$email</php>

either way i would help you out if you dont have this 'solved' in 5 hours when i get back so ill keep an eye on this post

i have vb 6.0 on this computer as well so i should be able to make my own source to give to you or edit yours

thanks for your help. i think i got it. my first attempt didn't work

<?php

$email = $_GET['email'];

?>

and it didn't fill in the form cause well duh, i didn't make the value to be
<?php echo $_GET["email"]; ?

or <php>$email</php> as in your example.

thank you .

one last test and i think i got this.

alright well those didnt work so what i did was just

<input name=email value="<?php echo $_GET["email"]; ?>">

thanks for your help johnfoe
