Grabbing form values from an external page

[Dreea]

Hello all,
I have a page that submits to another page
Is there any way of retrieving the output produced by the second page in the first page?
For instance if I have in the first page a form in which you fill in a name, submit it, to a second page that produces "Hello Tommy", i want to read from the first page what the second page outputed. I have no control over the second page. If there's any way to read its content from a third page the solution is wellcomed.
Thanks in advance

I'm not 100% certain what you mean, you can display information on the second page that you have entered on the first page.

[PHP]

$name = $_POST['name'];

//then to display the name you will need to do:

echo $name;

[/PHP]

Is this what you where asking for?

[Dreea]

no
I send some information to a page.... the page interpretes the informatin and outputs something ( i don't know what and how my data affects it) and i need to read what it outputs
for instance in the first page i fill in Tommy. The second page can output "Hello Tommy" "Good morning Tommy" "yes" "no" ... can output anything... and i need to read what it outputs based on my input (in this case Tommy)
Thanks

How about if you do somthing like on the second page

[PHP]

$hello = "Hello" $_POST['name'];

[/PHP]

Then redirect back to the first page then echo out the value?

you will need to then build in an if statement against the time if you wish to have different response during the day

Well, I can not do anything in the second page for I wasn't the person who wrote the code, and is on onther server

[tommurray]

Sorry but i don't think you will be able to do it as you will need somthing to capture your data on that page and then send it back.

might be wrong though but can't see it.
