hit a page without a redirect

[esthera]

I want to hit a page without a redirect....

basically calling the page with my query values as if it was redirected but the user should not see the redirect or actually be redirected.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you want to look up the Server.Execute command, but it depends on what you're actually trying to do with it.

Or use xmlhttp to send your values to your asp-page

i don't think xmlhttp will work

I actually want to hit a php page without user seeing and with continuing my asp script.

with teh server.execute i get an error

Server object error 'ASP 0214 : 80004005'

Invalid Path parameter

test.asp, line 132

The Path parameter excedes the maximum length allowed.

server.execute keeps returning errors.

If I do at the end of the script response.redirect then that does what I want but i don't really want to redirect.... but I need to call teh php page (not asp) with those parameters from the asp.

What can I do?

i don't think xmlhttp will work
Why not?

From the serverside asp-part, create an xmlhttp object which calls your php page, sending your data to this page. should work

[esthera]

how does that work?
I thought that the xmlhttp is to pull from a page...

I have a asp that when redirecting to the php works but I don't want to really redirect to the php just to call it with teh right fields...
can you help me out here? Will the xmlhttp method work for this?

[esthera]

I think I have it

set xmlhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.open "GET", url, false
xmlhttp.send ""
Response.write xmlhttp.responseText
set xmlhttp = nothing

Thanks for your help.

yeah, but you dont have to write out the responsetext. perhaps call a function on readystatechange which reads the response from the php page. You can use this to validate the correct arrival of your data. Just let the php page return a simple xml-string which indicates success or failure
