OF course it possible, otherwise it would not be possible
to write a web browser in the first instance. ;)
Check out the HTTP protocol at www.w3.org, and then start out
by making a manual telnet connection to port 80, that should
make you familary with the principles. After that it should
be fairly easy to automate the procedure with php or whatever
(proper) languages you like to use.

Subject: [PHP-WIN] imitating browser
Has anyone ever tried to imitate a browser with PHP or seen code
snippets that could help?
Scenario would be (everything via PHP):
-login to the page sending username and password and all other necessary
fields via POST
-now that the script is "logged in (session started)" we my use a search
form to search anything we need by sending POST queries to ex. search
page (search doesn't work if you are not logged in)
-save those pages (trivial part)
I am pretty sure that has to be possible with sockets and things alike.
Any help is appreciated!

Svensson, B.A.T. (HKG),Hello！
I agree with what Svensson said.I can give you some details.
You MUST know how to REMEMBER your link state and information
for a browser.It's related with cookie,that's to say,Set-Cookie & Cookie
field of HTTP header.such as:
Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=akjadflkwjeoidfalkjlk34kjadfl;path=/
All that you can do is to access the wegpage you need by this PHPSESSID.
Addtionally,since via POST method,you can send POST command.its details
are listed in RFC1945(HTTP/1.0) and RFC2068(HTTP/1.1).
If you have some software that can capture the data package during the
communication between a server and a client,that'll be better for you to
understand it.

The manual is indispensible, but personally, I've found the Sams "Learn
in 24 Hours" tutorial to be the best. Basically, it breaks learning
PHP/Mysql in 24 bite-sized chunks, letting you learn at your own pace...
At any rate, that's how I picked it up... (I program in PHP for a living
now... So it must've worked.)

If you a beginner, then the online manual might not be a good start. I still
find the maual quite complex (must just be me :s). Got to HotScripts.com, theu
have some tasty scrripts there, with some actual hands on implementations of
PHP and MySQL.

How do you mean?
To learn the syntax and sematics of php, one just need to read the online
manual.
To learn to write php code, one only have to learn the principles of
programming, the the rest is just a matter of reading the manual mentioned
above.
Of course it can be a great advantage to understand data and computer
comminucation in general and HTML and HTTP in particular, database systems
as well as basic of operating system architectures wont kill you either.

Hello all,
I have been developing ASP sites and applications for about 7 years.
Recently, I have been considering doing some of my new development projects
in PHP. Depending on the learning curve, I will have to support and
continue ASP for some time. I know there a lots of resources available for
PHP and I have a few of the recommeded books, documentation, etc.
My environment is Windows 2000 AS, IIS 5.0 and SQL Server 2000. Support is
for I.E. 5.5+.
I need to be able to perform programming tasks like:
- LDAP queries against Exchange 5.5 database
- Remote Scripting (Microsoft - MSRS)
- Typical database SELECTS, INSERTS, UPDATES, DELETES and execute Stored
Procedures
I have not seen any examples of performing LDAP queries or remote scripting.
I know there are many examples of database access.
I am interesting in hearing from anyone who also made the switch to PHP.
What problems or challenges were met, what limitations or advantages were
discovered. If any of the above (LDAP or MSRS) were particularly
troublesome in conversion or development in PHP.
Thanks for any and all input.
Duane
