EDIT: Now solved (see below)
I am trying to write somthing which will allow admins to easily add and remove 'accounts' from their fetchmailrc file.
I know there will be a few technical problems to overcome but thought I would be able to manage it (with my limited php skills)
I seem to have hit a brick wall though:
I have created the plugin and can get it to parse through a fetchmailrc file (currently in the plugin directory) and display the results in a nice table (sorted by destination email address). This table is made up of text input fields so that people can edit the values.
When I try to post the changes to another php file in the same directory (to be writen back to the file), I get nothing in my $_POST array.
i.e.
My index.html contains (in its most basic form):
#!/usr/local/bin/php
Fetchmail GUI Plugin<br>
<?php
echo '<form name="fetchmail" method="post" action="./Fetchmail_GUI/save.php">';
echo 'Name: <input type="text" name="name" />';
echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update">';
echo '</form>';
?>
And my save.php file contains:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
Fetchmail GUI Plugin<br>
<?php
echo print_r($_POST);
?>
The output I get is:
Array ( ) 1
Given that I have this working sucessfully through the regular hosting on the server, I am guessing that something to do with running this as a DA plugin means that I can't POST things? In which case what is the right way to do this?
