Oh, you want to send data to a php webservice, not get data from it. You'll still want to use urllib2 [1] as Gabor suggested. You will need to determine if the php web service accepts data via GET or POST (see below) and use the appropriate method. Assuming, POST, including code like this simple example [2] in your view should do the trick. For an example using GET, just keep reading that document for other examples. Just add an `if` statement to the end to check the result for success/failure and act accordingly. [1]: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-urllib2.html [2]: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/urllib2.shtml#data I'll assume you aren't sure of how to determine between GET and POST, so visit the website that offers the service you plan to use and find the page that contains the form to submit data. In your browser view the source of that page and find the html form. The first line of that form should look something like this: <form action="/foo/bar/" method="post"> The above form uses the POST method. If method="get", then it uses the GET method. It is possible that the service accepts both regardless if which is being used. If so, I'd recommend going with POST. Also note that the url you point urllib2 at will be the the url of `action`, not the url of the form (if they differ). > > I studied the same documentation you suggested over the weekend as well > as the forms documentation.

You should probably get the code that submits the data working first. Try something similar to the examples provided above right in the python shell. When you find code that works, just copy that into your view and you should be good to go. -- ---- Waylan Limberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
