Form Post

[kjs50]

Hello,

I have a basic startup question for PHP.

I have a Product Detail form on my site with an Add to Cart button. Upon the form submit, the action takes them directly to my shopping cart host to add the product.

But I want to do some processing first on the variables through php. So after having the action in the form refer to my php script, how can I have the php script automatically post the variables to the original action script.

So the user goes from

Form => PHP Script => Shopping Cart

Thanks.

form.html:

<form action="process.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="text1">
<input type="text" name="text2">
</form>

process.php:

<?
$text1 = $POST["text1"];
$text2 = $POST["text2"];

// do some variable work

header("Location: cart.php?text1=$text1&text2=$text2")
?>

or you could simply go all the process on your cart.php page before it displays it's output.

thanks a lot, that looks great.

i can't process the code on the cart page because i'm using a remotely hosted shopping engine.

i can only control it before i send it off to them.
