how to conditionally submit a form without a button?

Basically, my php script runs on my serve all day along. If the php
script finds something new, I'd like to get an email alert(which is
done) and a cell phone alert, which has to be done through a "post"
form (not through email). Can any one give me some hint on how to do
this: conditionally submit a form without a button?

I guess I need some javascript? Many thanks.

Is this your form? If so, I wouldn't even bother using a form - just do
it directly from your code.

But my impression is that it isn't your form - it belongs to your
cellular provider or similar.

In that case javascript won't help you (why would you even ask about it
in a PHP newsgroup?). You need to check out Curl.

Yes. The form belongs to my cellular provider. I post the question
here because the web page is written in PHP. Thanks.

cUrl is the right way to do it, but are you sure your cellular
provider does not also have email submission of text messages ?
mine (Verizon) does.

And they don't provide any other means to messages, like soap-service?

No problem with posting here. And CURL is the way to go. See
