Multiple Actions With A Single Form

[dkberman]

I need some help here.
First off, I want to avoid using client side scripting incase the users have it deactivated.
Second, this is on a https site and I am dealing with secure data.

I currently have a form with PHP_SELF as the action. I plan on having multiple submit buttons.

When the user clicks the SEND submit button, I want to implement the following idea:
if(SEND==true)
{
Connect to data base and enter data.

Through the POST method, send data to a site to handle the Credit Card transaction.
(Thinking that I have to create a new form with the data as hidden inputs. Need to automatically submit the form without user interaction)
}

I can do everything except the automatic submit. What can I do?
Thanks a lot.

You can do something like this:
if($submit == "send") {
Connect to database and enter data

//set some value here for instance
$auto_submit = "1";

if($auto_submit) {
submit the form
}
}

Hope this helps!

if($auto_submit) {
submit the form
}

What would be the code to submit the form?

Thanks.
