Server-Sie form submission - 'cause a form posting to a form which autosubmits is BAD

master_rickster

I have a php form from which the user fills out their name and address and clicks "Submit".

The form goes to a page that stores the data in a mySQL database, then, using hidden fields, populates another form and actives with a javascript onLoad=submit() to send the information on to the final destination.

I cannot control or edit the final destinations web page, which is why the interim page is needed.

What I would like is for the user to fill out the form, and upon submission have the data recorded into the database and have the data passed on in a "form like way" on to the final destination BY THE SERVER, not by the use of a hidden form page that auto submits.

Any suggestions?

Here is the interim page's code below:

<?
$link = @mysql_connect($db_host_name, $db_name, $the_decoded_password) or die;
@mysql_select_db($db_name) or die;

$query = "INSERT INTO web_link VALUES ('', '$a', '$b', '$c','$d', '$e', '$f', '$g', '$h')";
$result = @($query) or die;
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body onLoad="document.contactme.submit();">
<form name="contactme" method="post" action="http://www.test.com/cgi/storethisdata" >
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"first_name\" value=\"$first_name\"><br>";
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"last_name\" value=\"$last_name\"><br>";
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"email\" value=\"$email\"><p>";
print "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"phone\" value=\"$phone\"><p>";
?>
</form>
</body>

</html>

Here is some modified code that I found to perform your task:

<?php
$req = "name=bob&phone=8001231234&addr1=333%20Elm%20St";

$header .= "POST /somesite/somepage.php HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen ('www.somesite.com', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);

if (!$fp) {
  die("HTTP ERROR!");
} else {
  fputs ($fp, $header . $req);
  while (!feof($fp)) {
    $res = fgets ($fp, 1024);
  }
}
?>

If you need any further help I will be glad to assist.
