Call URL with no display

Post by slash85 »

Hi,

Is it possible to call a URL but not display anything?

Basically i want this URL calling http://test/hello.php?name=slash from say index.php via a button but i don't want anything displayed on the screen (no pop ups or anything).

Is there a way of somehow executing http://test/hello.php?name=slash in the backgound?

Thanks for any ideas,

Cheers,
Slash.

I use something like this to send play commands in the backgound:

Code: Select all

<iframe name="dummy" id="dummy" width="0" height="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>
<a href="httpq.php?action=PlaySelect&track_id=c5fyphkhly_a7730e46" target="dummy">Play track</a>
