||||||| Execute Form "Post" without clicking "Submit" ???

Gary_Kambic

Hello,

I need to execute this form "post" within a php page that doesn't display any data so the client will never be able to hit the submit button. All it does is build a mysql table and then, depending on the item selected on a previous page, submit a paypal routine for payment.

How do I execute the following code without hitting the "submit" button?

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Gary

you can use javascript, put this in the head of your document

Here's the source view after I executed the code: Just the button showed up. It didn't redirect to the paypal page.

function SymError()
{
return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

var SymRealWinOpen = window.open;

function SymWinOpen(url, name, attributes)
{
return (new Object());
}

window.open = SymWinOpen;

//-->
</script>

</body>

window.open = SymRealWinOpen;

//-->
</script>

</html>

in your form tag, name your form name="paypalform"

then change the javascript to

I must be missing something, it still doesn't wor. The submit button still comes up on the screen also. Can I get rid of this button and not lose the input name? Thannaks

your form tag needs to look like this

and you can lose the <input type="image">

Hi,

Check out eStore http://brooky.com and download the package. Then look at the file secure.php and header.inc.php and the code is there too. This uses javascript to autosubmit form data. You can see it in action if you make a demo purchase at:

Good luck 🙂
