@JeremyBanks Thanks for flagging!

I think @Will misread my last comment where I mentioned: In fact, if I discover that the method used in php-ga is a great one ... post that as an answer for benefit of all. Note that I wrote method used in php-ga, not simply php-ga.

@JeremyBanks Do you mean my question or the justification by @Will?

Really, I just want a good question and answer to be out there. But if it's such a pain...

One of the answers that @Will deleted may be a very good and simple solution. I am just worried about performance, as written in my comment.

Or even post one of the already existing answers myself, just to make it mark as accepted?

Create the same question again, and post the answer?

Really, if I find the time to do more in depth research, and I find a good answer, then what can I do?

My only explanation for the whole issue: People don't take the time to think about the questions that they are moderating, and they don't want to admit failure.

@JeremyBanks Well I disagree with Will (cURL is a standard tool, and the other message contained a useful link to another SO question). Will obviously didn't read my last comment. In particular - as I wrote - I am looking for methods. So the justification for closing the question is not just. Before that it was marked as a duplicate to a question which is related, but certainly requires a different answer.

Actually, I remember the answer. But I think it would be nice if it was available for others to see as well.

Is it possible to see deleted answers? I posted a question which has been closed and finally locked, and two of the replies also disappeared, one of them being quite useful.
