I know very little about PHP and was hoping I could find some help here. I have one piece of PHP built into my html that reads:

<p align=center><form action="includes/process.php?action=update" method="post">

It is supposed to control what happens when the following input bar is updated by the enter button etc.

<input type="text" name="u" id="input" value="Enter Your Website's URL And Press Enter" class="urlinput" size="60">

Which it does, however it doesn't know what to do. Now I have a PHP document written by somebody else (his name is at the top of the script in a comment) that i want to use with the text input bar.

<?php
// PHP Proxy
// Responds to both HTTP GET and POST requests
//
// Author: Abdul Qabiz
// March 31st, 2006
//

// Get the url of to be proxied
// Is it a POST or a GET?
$url = ($_POST['url']) ? $_POST['url'] : $_GET['url'];
$headers = ($_POST['headers']) ? $_POST['headers'] : $_GET['headers'];
$mimeType =($_POST['mimeType']) ? $_POST['mimeType'] : $_GET['mimeType'];


//Start the Curl session
$session = curl_init($url);

// If it's a POST, put the POST data in the body
if ($_POST['url']) {
$postvars = '';
while ($element = current($_POST)) {
$postvars .= key($_POST).'='.$element.'&';
next($_POST);
}
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt ($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postvars);
}

// Don't return HTTP headers. Do return the contents of the call
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, ($headers == "true") ? true : false);

curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Make the call
$response = curl_exec($session);

if ($mimeType != "")
{
// The web service returns XML. Set the Content-Type appropriately
header("Content-Type: ".$mimeType);
}

echo $response;

curl_close($session);

?>

My only problem is, is that I don't know how to make the updater read the PHP file above. (which should act as a proxy)

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
