Passing a value from Vb to php

Question

Hi I'm trying to pass a value from Vb to PHP. So far I have used public property to pass a string value to one form to another

        Public _passedText As String
        Public Property PassedText() As String
    Get
        Return _passedText
    End Get
    Set(ByVal Value As String)

        TextBox1.Text = Value
        User.Text = Value
    End Set
End Property

I would like the same value to be passed to a php file is this possible? Also I'm using WinForms

Need more details. Is the PHP on an external server or the same machine as the VB code is executed, do you want to run the PHP via command line or call it through a URL? — MrCode, Apr 30 '12 at 15:50

Have a look at HttpWebRequest: http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/Uploadfile/mahesh/DownloadWebPage04252005073432AM/DownloadWebPage.aspx — MrCode, Apr 30 '12 at 16:17

You could use the HTTP protocol to comunicate with the PHP Server . In c# this communication can be achieved using the HttpWebRequest Class.

Encapsulating the data you wish to send via POST or GET methods

HttpWebRequest Class

HttpWebRequest POST

HttpWebRequest GET

How do I use HttpWebRequest with GET method

On the PHP Side you would extract the parameters you transferred. The method of parameter extraction will depend on weather you used POST or GET to send data to the server.

PHP GET

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.get.php

PHP POST

And once you got your parameters on PHP server side you proceed doing something with them.
