ENC28J60 using HTTP GET to put data through PHP/MySQL database

I've been racking my brains & scouring posts to find a simple (& well commented) example of using ENC28J60 to post data via HTTP GET to PHP/MySQL db, to no avail!

Honestly, I don't care about the PHP/MySQL part, I only care about HOW to make the HTTP Get Request with the EtherShield or EtherCard Library for the ENC28J60!

I've seen several seemingly overly complex examples with-out much commenting that include: 'Make Arduino a Web Server' or 'Make a Twitter Feed' or other...They are just not clear on what is going on with the Sketch code. I would think a more simplified example of making the Arduino + ENC28J60 would be more important to get less than skilled programmers the basic tools to make it all work.

I've also seen several posters making the same request I am asking about regarding these little documented libraries (EtherShield library or levera.ging the EtherCard Library from JeeLabs).

Does anyway have any suggestions on what to do, or where to look for the explicit example of doing a HTTP GET /save.php?Value=SOMETHING request" ???

Help and Guidance would be very much appreciated!

Cheers,

JR

From what I have found Andy's code will be your best bet. The examples aren't commented but it's really not that difficult to walk through it to see what is going on. A little bit of poking around and you should be able to find what is needed.

However if you have found anything else that works please let us know!

If you are looking at EtherCard, I say you have the answer in the getStaticIP example. It doesn't get much simpler than that! my_datafill_cb builds a GET request right there.
