I have a PHP order form that posts to Authorize.net, my CC merchant. I want to automate this process on my Redhat Linux 7.1 server that runs PHP 4.1.0 and Apache 1.3.22. I use the following format for a normal PHP page via cron....
GET http://www.somedomain.com/somepage.php > /dev/null
This works well for a typical PHP script/page. However, I am wondering how to automatically parse a PHP page via cron in the same page that will post the form results automatically. Since a form requires the "Submit" button to be pressed before sending form results, I do not see a way to do this via a call from cron. It will run the page, but I don't think it will post the results.
Has anyone got any ideas about this? A link to the info or any other suggestions on this topic will be appreciated.
