How to upload a counter value to a website automatically

[flaxwalter]

Hi, I am designing a little system that counts de passsage of objects in a band, and I am trying to put that value in a website so that could be read anywhere. because I wish to watch it standing in another city. I made an embedded circuit and from wich I take the variable to a Visual Basic application and up to that stage everything is ok, I can read the variable. Ok, then I am confussed if VB has a way to send a single variable value to perhaps a php site. The question is if you have some idea to help me to take a way to the solution. Or if you may tell me about a Website where I could read something to illustrate me? Thanks for your help

Hi flaxwalter

As I'm expert in php and is not familiar with VB, if you can call a page and use $_GET or $_POST variable, so I can help you.

Thank you both for helping me. I finally could upload the counter using visual basic net. I did it uploading a text file and then reading the variables in a php page
