Post variables to another server then read post vars sent back and display

[ehask]

Ok I think I have confused myself.

Here is the scenario

Webuser fills out form on Webserver A which posts information to Gateway -> posts info to Main Database

Then Main database posts response vars back to gateway.

How do I return these to the user???

I have been reading curl all day and somehow confused myself.

I am the gateway (for the sake of my crappy sample above) I have to post the data to the main db then read the response from the server and either accept or reject based on the POST vars sent back to me from the DB Server.

I am all set on submitting the data. I just cant figure out how to read the POST info and then display error or accept to the webuser

Thx for any links or samples to help get my head straight

this sounds vaguely like a credit card validation routine. most cc gateways i have seen simply collect data that you supply (usually via a POST form submission) then they validate the data and allow you to specify a URL where all of the data is POSTed back (along with a proprietary response code for cc validation). if any of this applys to what you are doing simply write a script that examines incoming POST vars and conditionally spits back a confirmation or rejection (based on the incoming response code) and specify the URL of this script to your gateway.

perhaps i am way off the mark on what you are ultimately trying to do here.
