parse http response

[siwy202]

I've written a web interface where a user enters credit card information, and this information is sent to a CGI script (Using method=POST). The CGI script then sends back an HTTP response with some "input type='hidden'"... values (So it displays a blank screen). My question is this: Is there a way for PHP (Or anything else) to intercept this HTTP response, so that I could parse it and display the hidden values on my page?

As a note, I can't modify the CGI script, because I'm working with the viaWarp merchant software.

Set the target of the CGI script to your php script, and get the values from the $_POST array ... see the FAQ in the Newbies forum, or the manual for more details...

[EDIT]OK, so maybe I missed that last comment ... so how are you calling the script? And what it is returning, and to where?[/EDIT]

my php script that contains inputs to be filled by a user resides on one host. Once information is submitted I send the information using FORM METHOD=POST and ACTION=http://somehost:88/cgi-bin/auth.cgi... The CGI script then interprets the information and sends a response back to the browser with those INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN VALUES. I want to take this response, interpret it myself and output it to the browser

So the transaction looks like this ...

|  end user      |______\  your    _______\  CGI
|client (browser)|      /  server   POST  /  Server |
      ^                                             | 
      |_____________________________________________|

... and leaves your server out of the return loop? Looks like it'd have to be a Javascript solution to me if that's true... 🙁
