Submit form to a website, that is not mine?

Thelle93 · Nov 9, 2012, 05:44 AM

I'm building an iPhone application and I'm trying to upload a submit form that includes "name" + "value" to a website form. The website is not mine, will I be able to do that with PHP? If so, how? What resources can I use?

Thanks

It sounds like you would have to figure out the structure of the page that you want to post to. What do they use to post to it? Is it publicly available? Do they maybe have an API you could implement?

Here's an example of the form:

Yes I think it is an API.

When a web form is submitted a POST or GET is generated in a certain format (application/x-www-form-urlencoded, or multipart/form-data).

All of the NSURLConnection wrappers have support for this. See AFNetworking and ASIHTTPRequest.
