Using app Inventor to login to php

[ShadowKM Du]

Hi all

I'm trying to develop an app to login MRBS, which uses php form as login method:

in the response of mrbs.sourceforge.net/mrbs/admin.php:

<div id="contents">
	<form class="form_general" id="logon" method="post" action="admin.php">
	<fieldset>
	<legend>Please log in</legend>
	<div>
	<label for="NewUserName">Name:</label>
	<input type="text" id="NewUserName" name="NewUserName">
	</div>
	<div>
	<label for="NewUserPassword">Password:</label>
	<input type="password" id="NewUserPassword" name="NewUserPassword">
	</div>
	<input type="hidden" name="returl" value="http://mrbs.sourceforge.net/mrbs/day.php?year=2014&amp;month=10&amp;day=09&amp;area=829&amp;room=1814&amp;returl=http%3A%2F%2Fmrbs.sourceforge.net%2Fmrbs%2Fday.php%3Fyear%3D2014%26month%3D10%26day%3D09%26area%3D829%26room%3D1814">
	<input type="hidden" name="TargetURL" value="day.php?year=2014&amp;month=10&amp;day=09&amp;area=829&amp;room=1814&amp;returl=http%3A%2F%2Fmrbs.sourceforge.net%2Fmrbs%2Fday.php%3Fyear%3D2014%26month%3D10%26day%3D09%26area%3D829%26room%3D1814">
	<input type="hidden" name="Action" value="SetName">
	<div id="logon_submit">
	<input class="submit" type="submit" value=" Log in ">
	</div>
	</fieldset>
	</form>

So I think I should able to login with web component by post text to this admin.php with "NewUserName=demo1&NewUserPassword=demo"

But it doesnt work. I'm not sure whether i need to encode the password or   i used the wrong method.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

It would really help if you provided a screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.
