Manuel, 

The class you mentioned isn't quite what I'm looking for. 

It's not a matter of retrieving content for the PHP app,  it's a matter of 
getting IE (or Mozilla!) to go to the site, log in with the same credentials 
used to access the PHP-GTK app, and then leave the browser up so that the 
user can then do what they need to do. 

How can I do this with COM on Windows and form post? I've tried several times 
to invoke the "default browser" using various incantations of exec(), 
passthru(), and backticks, but it's always been near-death dog slow. 

Suggestions? 

-Ben 

PS: I've had your site linked on my home page for years. It's an honor...
