using a variable in the POST parameters

Hello,
Is it possible to use a variable in the POST parameters? I need to get a screen scape based on three variables (Date, Retailer, Town) as although I can see how it might be possible to place a file locally with the variable information, I don know how to place this is the POST parameters.
Is this possible? Any Suggestions appreciated as Ive only just got my head around all the tutorials.......
thanks, Kerri :shock:

tnxa1m,

We discuss this briefly in Tutorial #2 and have mention of it in the FAQ. I would like to make it more available and clear to others. May I ask, did you already go through the second tutorial but did not notice the mention? If so, I'd like to bring it more the fore because it's an important feature.

Any feedback is very welcomed.

Thanks,
