Passing forms variables to outside serve

[tsmith]

I have a site that I'm doing that houses some of their data and uses an outside service to process some other parts of their data.
Their product registration page points at some totally un related server like:
<form action="http://someother.server.com/cgi-bin/">

What I want to do is capture some of the fields from the form into our database, then fire the whole data set off to their outside agency's server. Capturing the fields is easy, I have:
if($submit){
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("mydb", $db);

$query = "insert into contact (salutation, fname, lname, email, entryPoint) values
('$title', '$first_name', '$last_name', '$email', '$entryPoint') ";

mysql_query($query, $db);
header ("Location: http://someother.server.com/cgi/etc"); 
exit; 

}

What am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Tom

You need to know the external form's field names so you can pass them appropriately like this:

header("location: http://someotherserver.com/cgi/form.pl?last=rawurlencode($last)&first=rawurlencode($first)&addr=rawurlencode($addr)...");

Something like that will work... you just need to View/Source of the form to see what field names they expect and how they map to your variables.

Getting an error on that. Error is:
"Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/html/clubhouse/register.php3:7) in /home/www/html/clubhouse/register.php3 on line 1050"

The code I sent is:
if ($submit) {
mysql_query($query, $db)or die("bad query");
//echo "nice query"; //debug
$params = "formid=rawurlencode($formid)&now2000=rawurlencode($now2000)&";
$params .= "title=rawurlencode($title)&wdopt=rawurlencode($wdopt)&expopt=rawurlencode($wdopt)&";
$params .= "what=rawurlencode($whatpur)&shaft=rawurlencode($shaft)&playgen=rawurlencode($playgen)&";
$params .= "whopur=rawurlencode($whopur)&marital_status=rawurlencode($marital_statues)&";
$params .= "influence=rawurlencode($influence)&seenads=rawurlencode($seenads)&" ;
$params .= "magazine=rawurlencode($magazine)&prevown=rawurlencode($prevown)&";
$params .= "sixmo_activities=rawurlencode($sixmo_activities)";

//echo $params;  //debug
header ("Location: http://some.other.server/cgi-bin/formwork2.cgi?$params"); 

}
The query works fine. The params will echo out ok, it just doesn't work on header location part.
Any ideas anyone? Is there a better way to do this?
What I want is just to capture a subset of the data before it gets submitted to the outside server. The header location thing seems a bit like duplication of the whole form.
