I've been playing around with the tutorial on this site: http://howtostartpro...st-post-method/
But it's very outdated and the site used to teach you webrequests has been updated/changed.
Any good tutorials and a site to test this new-found knowledge with?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any more most if not all websites with a basic form login page have you include a phpsessionid in when you go to "post" data.
To get the phpsessionid would i have to do a GET request and save the cookies i get in the same cookie i want to use for the POST request?

thanks but no thanks man, I'm having trouble with the phpsessionID. Plus it doesn't really show its self as a tutorial. Sorry for being blunt but thanks again.

I'd rather be handed the fishing pole and not the fish. Works 100% better in the long run.
