form method=post forwarded from a 2nd pg

Anon

I will try to explain this the best as I can:

I have 3 processors for someone to choose from credit card, checking or web900 that I have built into a shopping cart. Once a user selects which products they like to purchase and add it to the shopping cart they then checkout by selecting one of the three submit buttons. Credit card, checking or the web 900.

Now the part I am not sure with... because each processor has a different post URL and hidden fields, I have created the system to send the user to a common page on my end called checkout.php on this page I can tell which products are in their shopping cart, and which method they like to pay by. But can you forward a users automatically from the checkout.php based on the correct post URL and the hidden form fields for the processor or does it have to be done from the original page where the submit button is?

I had a similar situation where I needed a different ACTION attribute, depending on what button the user clicked.

For this I used javascript.

Each of your buttons will have a name,

The following part goes in the head of your html document:

<head>
<script language="javascript">
var ourform="window.document.formname";
function setaction(){
if(caller.name=button1){
ourform.action="filename1.php" }
elseif(caller.name=button2){ ourform.action="filename2.php" }
else{ ourform.action="filename3.php" }
</script>
</head>

Change the form handlers filename1.php, filename2.php and filename3.php, and you're done.

Note that your actual form <FORM> will not have any ACTION attribute in it.
