I would like to use a language, (preferably PHP) to populate, and if possible, auto-submit a form on another site. The site is my hosts web-email client. I would be pulling the log in information for my user database and i would like them to be able to click a link and it will populate the email-login form with thier info, and hopfully submit it for them.

Will sockets do this? I've heard about somthing called SOAP and it sounds like it might help.

Thank for suggestions.

I have done something like this with Perl (which has modules for sending POST data to an external form), and I am sure it is possible with PHP too. If not by passing the parameters through a querystring, then probably using some other trick. SOAP ain't gonna help u, unless the site you wanna post to runs a webservice.

Do you have any example code for this?
