i need help with posting a form and then redirect

[cabaz777]

hi all

im getting crazy trying to understand how to post a form to a 3rd party page but then redirect to my website again.

let me explain.
i have a form that collects user, email, first and last name and then it posts the values to a 3rd party page (that i dont managel myself) to be subscribed.

the problem is that the form reachs the 3rd party page and stays there, but what i want is to know if there is a way to post the values without leaving my form or just redirecting it to my thank you page.

i thought to post the form to a php file in my server that then it use header("Location: url"); to pass the variables in the url (the 3rd party accepts GET) but again i reach this page and cannot rediret anymore.

does has php a function to post the variables without leaving the page, something like posting secretly or whatever.

any workaround pls ??????
sorry my english :queasy:

Just a thought, maybe you could use some url handler functions like fopen, fsockopen and fgets and just pass your post vars in the query string (since the site accepts $_GET vars). Then read the contents of the returned file, parse it and redirect. I've never tried this and am not entirely sure if it's possible. Maybe someone else can clarify.

I am not sure if you can legally do this but you could just check the source of the 3rd party page and use the same form field names and then have your script submit to the same page the 3rd party page submits to.

I am not sure if _POST is limited to the specific site. Could someone help me with that.

And to redirect back to your site you could use a frame.
