Question : PHP Pass Parameters to Online Activation Page

Currently I have users go to a web page to activate my product.  I would like instead to have them push a button in VB.NET and the program will connect to the web and activate automatically.  So I need to figure out how to pass parameters "installation ID" and "Email Address" to a PHP web page.  This is part of the PHP code on the web:

...

<title> Activation Code</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form name="frmcode" method="post" action="">
<table align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" width="50%" >
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><strong>Generate Activation Code</strong> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><?=$error ; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Installation ID:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="instid" style="width:200px;" value="<?=$instid ; ?>" > </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Your Email:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" style="width:200px;" value="<?=$email ; ?>" > </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td><input type="submit" name="action" value="Submit"  > </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Answer : PHP Pass Parameters to Online Activation Page

POST method that your using is the best way to do it, you can use the GET function that means that all the values will show up in the link in the browser address bar.

You could also use sessions or cookies to pass the values if you wanted also.
