HTML/PHP form question

[zopm]

Hi, I just have a quick question I was hoping someone could help me with.

Baiscally, I have an order form setup. Anyway, I am changing to another payment system and I am having trouble working out how to do one thing.

Is there any way I can have the information in a form mailed to my email address, while at the same passing this information to the payment processor. i.e

<form name="confirmation_form" method="post" action="paymentprocessorlink.com">

All I need is this form to send me to the payment processor, and email me the details of the form.

Any ideas.

Pass the form to a PHP page you manage, email yourself and then pass the form details on to the payment service. If your not keen on doing an HTTP POST using PHP then there are classes out there to make life easy, or alternatively you could print the form to screen a second time, only this time with the payment service address in the action attribute.

in addition to this, just to eliminate the possibility of it not coming to mind.... on the 2nd page simply pass it off as being a "confirmation page" if you dont already have one... if so, then just modify it to do the emailing 😉

granted if they realize they made a mistake and do go back and correct it, you'd have gotten 2 emails... but I'm betting an extra email or 2 isnt going to bother you too much...
