I can't quite make out exactly what you're trying to do - first you say
you tried to do a post from Php, but couldn't read anything back - then
you say you want YOUR browser to post variables back to the server.

For the first part of your question, have a look at
http://jason.etranz.com.au/post - page1.php3 is the one you want view
first. Use your browser's 'view source' feature for a clearer view on
the returned output.

Also, both files have been copied to a .txt extension so you can easily
see the source.

For the second part of your question, you have to realise that Php has
no control over what happens at the client end - you cannot make Php
cause the browser to submit a form after it's been sent to the client.

You can do it with javascript though, since javascript is interpreted on
the client side by their web browser.

You can use one of the event handlers like onLoad() or onFocus() or
onBlur() etc etc to trigger submit().
