[Resolved] [Resolved] sending post data via redirected URL?

[dianaqt]

I am hoping there might be a way to:

a) gather info from a form and send it to a script that will email me (this I've figured out).

b) (here's where the problem comes in...) Either somehow get the script to ACT as if the form was also submitted to a completely different URL using the post method AND send the same data that was sent to the email script (this must be via the post method - there will be too much info to send with a simple www.url.com?name=value solution).

OR

Use a redirect in the header of the script that sends me the email, but somehow attach all the data so it will look as if it was sent by the post method to the URL that receives it.

I really liked the post at

http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=10267945

and thought that it made it very clear what I need to do... just the glitch of also getting the data that was sent in the email, over to another script via post method.

Am I barking up the right tree here? Is this possible?

Thanks so much for any help,

Diana

Hi,
you have two choice:

• if you are the owner of "another script",you can send the email from beginning of this.

• if not you can post to a dummy php script. This script first send you the email, then fill a new hidden form with the rigth value.
  Just end this script with
  <script>document.form_name.submit()</script>
  to redirect to the "other script".

This is not so hard, but if there are files to upload... it's a bit more complex.

I hope this helps...

I got it to work... IE seemed to have a problem with having the <script> tag placed within the <form> tag, it would do everything except email me the results... it forwarded properly though.

I solved it entirely though by placing it out side of the <form> tag.

Thanks so much for your help, I greatly appriciate it!
