ShellExecute to open webpage with fields filled?

[cheukyung]

I am using VC++ 6.0 under WinXP Professional, doing Win32 programming.

I have a PHP file containing an HTML form with some fields in a web server. In my C++ program (which is not in the web server), I could only open the page with fields blanked by using this:

ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "http://XXX.XX.XX.XX/input_info.php", "", "", SW_SHOW);

My question is:
How can I use "ShellExecute" function call to open the browser to open this PHP page with some of the fields filled?

Thanks!!

May or may not work (depending on the page) but you could try to specify field values directly in the URL itself. Something like: url.com/page.php?name=value&another=anothervalue.

I think what Michel has suggested should work. Basically if you have two fields e.g. Username and Password on your page then your url might look like this: [url]http://www.someurl.com?username=someusername & password=somepasswordname

Now you should write some simple code as part of your page using ASP and simple VB script (or Java or whatever you're using)

<form name="form1" method="post" action="somepage.asp>&ID=2">
<p>User name:
<input name="Username" type="text" value=<%=Request.QueryString("username")%>>
</p>
<p>Password:
<input type="text" name="Password" value=<%=Request.QueryString("password")%> >
</p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Change">
</p>
</form>

The asp code here is only <%=Request.QueryString("username")%> and
<%=Request.QueryString("password")%>
