How do you use http.post() to send data to a server? Basically, I have a PHP script that will interact with a database depending on the data it's given; how do I give it data?

http.post("yoursite.com", "postdata=whatever&amp;morepostdata=blahblah")

… is pretty much the same as sticking this into your web browser's address bar:

yoursite.com?postdata=whatever&amp;morepostdata=blahblah

Keep textutils.urlEncode() in mind, and see the pastebin script's source a more thorough example.

So, "$_POST['oper']" being set to a value would be:


http.post("minerobbercc.x10host.com/cc-scripts/sm-suite.php", "oper=blah")

Right?
