Sending data from a Form -> PHP script ->PHP script

icaro77

Hi!

My doubt it's the next :

how I do to pass info from a HTMLform ->PHPscript -> PHPscript?

I need some data to be processed by the first PHP script and then
passed to another script....

I hope you can help me...

HTML form:
-------------------------------------
<form action="phpscript1.php">
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="submit" name="sendUsername">
</form>

php Script 1:
-------------------------------------
$the_username = $_POST['username'];

echo '
<form action="phpscript2.php">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="' . $the_username . '">
<input type="text" name="more_data">
<input type="submit" name="sendUsername2">
</form>';

php Script 2:
-------------------------------------

echo $username;

How about something like this? I'm not exactly sure what happens between phpscript 1 -> phpscript 2. If you can give me a more detail description of what those two scripts are doing, then I can help you better. In the code above, I'm assuming you have another form in phpscript 1.

Hi !

The finality of the scripts are intended for passwords updates on Solaris 9 and it's this way :

1.- The user fills the form_1.html and send the password to script_1.php
2.- Since there are mixed DES and MD5 passwords on our user list, script_1.php checks if it's MD5 or DES
3.- If it's MD5, then it encrypt the password submited to MD5 and compares, if both are the same then encrypts the submited password to DESand stores it on the system, and this way its available to Solaris 9 system layer.
4.- In both cases (it's DES or MD5), it passes the login and password not encrypted to the webmail PERL script (sorry, can I say PERL here? =p ) .....

I know it's kinda messy, but Solaris 9 doesn't have MD5 available on its crypt library ¬¬

I hope you can help me....

Is your script organized in functions? It may be easier to pass variables across functions and have one main program running them. Or, you can make the files include each other. That way the variable values are retained.

The script I described it's on its 1st working version and of course I have planned to make it more clear and function based, BUT ,
the problem it's that there is an PERL based web mail that receives the login and password from the web form...:

Original way:

html form ---> PERL based webmail
1.- 2.-

1.- The user fills the form
2.- The PERL based webmail receives the data and begins to work

My way :

html form ---> PHP script (encrypts and compare) ---> PERL based webmail
1.- 2.- 3.-

1.- The user fills the form
2.- The PHP script receives the data and encrypts the password if match the encrypted and the stored then I pretend it to send the not crypted password to the PERL based webmail...
3.- Ther PERL based webmail receives the data and begins to work....

So, the main question it's : how can I send or simulate a post of the data and send it to the PERL based webmail ?
