[opva]

Hey guys,

Im doing an application in the one i have a .html file and a .php file on one server but the final .php file is in another server; to the one i connect through an expecific port but i would like if the port number didnt show up in the address bar.
Is something like this:
h t t p : / / server.mi.site:#port/path/to/file.php
I havent done this before but i think is possible, so if anyone can help me here....
Thanks,

You have to have the port number if you're going directly to it. You can, however, connect with a socket, send the right headers, and get the information back and it will look as if you weren;t even going off your server,

Thanks Carp but i have to go to that server because im using some drivers that are only in that server and the port numbre is 5556, i just don want it to be visible.
in a form i put that address as the action, but maybe it didnt have to show up in the bar
Thanks

You could also use a frame, and it would show whatever you name the framed page in the addy bar.
