Passing through the script???

dniezby

I have a script that will recieve variable data from a webform, then sends a confirmation email to the sender BUT I also need to send those variable results off to another webpage...Is that possible?

Here is the map:

webform1 > Script > Recipient's email
Script > Webform2 with data from webform1

Why not just have the original form submit to the script that sends the email out and then have that script redirect to the other page, passing the necessary variables as hidden form fields?

I would but how? I must be having a serious brain fart because I can't remember for the life of me how to do that?

I'm assuming that I can echo the results to the new webform but how do I " POST" them?

EG:http://www.newwebformsite.com/form.html

I feel like an idiot because I know I've done this before...Just gone blank.

Once submitted from you original form, go ahead and execute the code needed to generate your email message. Now depending on what kind of data was submitted from the first form you could just append the form data to the query string and redirect to the new page....something like this:

$location = "script.php?var1=" . $_POST["var1"] . "&var2=" . $_POST["var2"];
header("Location: $location");

You could also create a new form on this page and just set all of your input fields to type "hidden" and use javascript to automatically submit the form when the page loads(using onload in the body tag)

What are you doing with the values in the next script? Would it be possible to write them to a database here and then grab them in the next script?

I don't know why I didn't think of this a second ago when typing that lost response but why not just use session vars to store the data from page to page? That would certainly be the simplest way

I am VERY new to PHP and still very vague with session variables. In fact, I'm only just learning them with a username/password script.

So, that being said and using your above example can I do this?

the onload function isn't going to work in an input tag...it would have to go in your <body> tag
