Sending a GET request to sever with C client and printing request on PHP webpage
I have searched online for loads of tutorials on sending a GET request in C to the server. I have been successful in sending the get request but I would like to print the request on the index.php page hosted on the websers. For example, i will run the C client, and the request will then be displayed on the web page that was sent from the C client. Where would I start in terms of the PHP? I am good with PHP and databases, im not just sure when it comes to connecting it to an outside program.
For example, making a GET request containing a parameter. When the GET request is sent to the server and the parameters is stored in the MYSQL database and I can then display that parameters from the database using SELECT etc... I know it's possible I'm just not sure how to pass the parameters into the PHP so I can then do an INSERT INTO database.
Anyhelp would be great and here is my current C client.
/* windows client */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <winsock.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
WSADATA wsa;
SOCKET s;
struct sockaddr_in server;
char *message;
printf("winsock starting.......\n\n");
if(WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2),&wsa)!=0){
printf("ERROR CODE:", WSAGetLastError());
return 1;
}
printf("winsock all good\n\n");
if((s=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) == INVALID_SOCKET){
printf("bad socket", WSAGetLastError);
}
printf("good socket\n\n");
server.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
server.sin_family = AF_INET;
server.sin_port = htons(80);
if(connect(s,(struct sockaddr*)&server, sizeof(server)) < 0 ){
puts("bad connection");
return 1;
}
puts("good connection");
//Send GET data
message = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";
if( send(s , message , strlen(message) , 0) < 0)
{
puts("Send failed");
return 1;
}
puts("Data Send\n");
return 0;
}
