Hi Richard,


Thank you, the function above does exactly what  I need

but for question 1)
I don't master the POST comand

I've hav read it in the dictionary
but I cannot send the file on my webserver

Can you please give me an example ?


Let's say my name is "yves" and my password is "1234"
The variable containing the data to save is in a script of a revlet
I first transform my data(in the variable) with the function above

How can I create a file on the server using the post command with the  
variable data transformed in HTML ?


Thanks.


Greetings.
