http post response id capture

[Lost User]

Hi, I am sending a HTTP post request to external url and if it is successfull - the client server returns OK:12345 on web page. Now 12345 is an id and this is what i need to capture and store it as a variable to be used in my second script. Is there any way i can save this id as a variable or something. Thank You.

Sounds like cross site scripting which is a security issue and you will find hard to work around. You can use something like cURL to do it though.

I agree with cjoki that this is cross site scripting. It's a pretty big security vulnerability to do such things and a lot of browsers (or security software/addons) will attempt to block it. However, do you have control over the 2nd server (i.e. can you set it up to send that id as a post back to your server?) If so I'd recommend doing that if you absolutely have to. If the OK:##### is just generated HTML I'm not sure how you would go about capturing that and storing it as a variable.

ok how about if the client side send a data via post to our site - On that page i have written a script to store post data in a text file. But this works internally when i try to send data via post method to that page but not externally.
