It is not so much what it looks like, but what the PHP script is expecting that matters, and every script will be different. There is usually a web page designed to submit the correct POST arguments, you can either study the HTML to work out what the POST is actually submitting, or use a proxy or network analyser to look at the data sent between browser and server. GpHTTPProxy.ZIP on the ICS usermade download page is ideal for capturing the data between browser and server, but there are various precompiled tools that do the same thing. One thing to remember is not all the POST parameters will necessarily be sent, blank parameters are often ignored.
