Hello!

im having a quite big issue, with posting two or more variables to a website, but i dont think im posting correct:

http.post("http://advlock.webuda.com/lockP.php?", "key=" .. key .. ", licensekey=" .. computer[pos].key)

does anyone know if thats a valid posting method? (if not then please tell me what i need to add/remove)
and btw, the two variables "key" and "computer[pos].key" is some variables from an input / table.

Thanks in Advance

http.post("http://advlock.webuda.com/lockP.php?", "key=" .. textutils.urlEncode(key) .. "&licensekey=" .. textutils.urlEncode(computer[pos].key))

I've never worked with the HTTP API, and I don't know the details of what you're doing, but try that.

yes, its correct, but you dont need that ? after it, thats for the GET parimeter

the textutils.encode is ONLY for the http.get. but thanks. will try the code

The pastebin program disagrees with you:

local response = http.post("http://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php", "api_option=paste&".."api_dev_key="..key.."&".."api_paste_format=lua&".."api_paste_name="..textutils.urlEncode(sName).."&".."api_paste_code="..textutils.urlEncode(sText))

You may have to to use urlEncode(), depending on the content of your variables. Whether it's a POST or GET, a random ampersand can still confuse the script and quotation marks can cause syntax errors if not escaped (by urlEncode()). The only thing strictly incorrect about my post was that I kept the "?" in there. Granted, you had it there, so I still can't be sure whether you're looking to do a POST or GET.

Hmm. but. the code is working fine, but the webpage is erroring out... hmm whats wrong.. i know its a bit away from lua, but if someone knows how to fix, it then please tell me />

Error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a1652713/public_html/lockP.php on line 4
