form redirect

[Anon]

i need some code to bring up a website (except the website can been contained in a variable) except it finds the forms and replaces the action so the form submits back into the script all of its variables

[Anon]

That sounds very underhanded - care to elaborate on the particular use for this? 🙂

[Anon]

yes.
I mean take a form from someone else's site, and change the ACTION to point to one of his my own scripts saving the old action url into a variable for later.

$site="http://domain/form.html";
$fp=join("", file($site));
$fp=preg_replace('|(action=".*")|', 'action="'.$PHP_SELF.'"', $fp);
echo $fp;

that takes the page (form.html) and changes all action="whatever" to action="<script name>". It's not perfect, but it's free 🙂

suggestions: make the pattern more accepting, and only make it replace in forms.

That's quite possibly a violation of the terms and conditions of the website... and depending on what you do with it, it could be illegal (just a word of warning).

Still, it's very useful 🙂

[Anon]

its so people can automate the process of logging into websites. of course ill have disclaimers and all of that

[Anon]

That's a teriffic help. Thanks

Is there anyway it could remember the old URL that it replaced with $PHPSELF ?
