How to make PHP application transparent

helang_timuran

Hi all,

At this moment I have 2 web applications, one written on ASP.NET and another one is written on PHP. ASP.NET will provide one form for user to key in data while PHP will later receive that data and process it. Finally, PHP will send the result of the processed data to the user email address.

My question is...
How can I make the PHP application transparent to the user, meaning that, the user will never see it and know what it does? The final page the user might see just only ASP.NET page displaying message:

"The result will be sent to your email address, please check your email!"

Anyone here has experience on handling this? Please..

You can have the PHP script redirect to another page when it's done processing via the [man]header/man function (sending a Location header).

You could also rename it to an asp extension, put it in it's own directory, and write an .htaccess file for that directory to force Apache to handle all asp files as php.

But the header() is probably a better solution. 😉

Thanks to the answer..

Actually I want ASP.NET displaying msg telling user to see email to appear just before the PHP application takes place. That's mean, the user will only able to
navigate up to ASP.NET page (ask user to see email), the remaining page (which is on PHP) will be hidden. PHP no need to come back to ASP.NET...

Am I able to do that???

Is it just me or is this such a betrayal to Php?

Anyhow as you been advice, you can accomplish it by using headers.

header('location:evilpage.asp');

and if you want to mask php in the url, just use a simple mod rewrite rule in a .htaccess (well that is if you are using Apache).

If the ASP.NET page is the one generating the form and presenting it to the user, then that's what the user will see.

Have the form submission sent back to the ASP.NET page, and have it pass the submitted data along to PHP for processing and generating the email. PHP does its thing, sends a response back to the ASP.NET page, which then sends the confirmatory response back to the user.

No need to be bouncing the user's browser back and forth between ASP and PHP pages.
