Hi Matthias and Mark,
There are in fact a few ways to use the put URL command with the http protocol.
If the server supports it, you can use "put myVar into url myURL" directly and
retrieve the data in PHP. Some time ago, there was a discussion about it on
this mailing list. Here's some more info about handling the PUT method in PHP:
http://qery.us/2ah . Unfortunately, I don't think this is very relevant for
Mark R.
Another possibility is to use a PHP (or iRev or CGI) script that uses the GET
method on the server. In LiveCode, you can access this with
put url ("http://www.bla.com/file.php?var="; & urlEncode(myVar))
This is a kind of cheating because it doesn't really use the PUT method but at
least it uses the http protocol.
FTP is a good solution too, of course.
