Posting a form to another script ?

[el_roachmeister@yahoo.com]

Is there a way to "post" a form to another php script? For example
input.php retrieves some user variables then posts the results to
another script , say form.php?

I know this can be done using perl's LWP by creating an agent. Let me
know if this makes sense or not? I know I can use GET, but I want to
avoid GET for some other reasons.

Thanks!

if i understand right you want to post form1 to form2 to some last
script. this is no problem. you could for instance code the data from
form1 into hidden fields in form2 and then post everything again.

Or try cURL to create a new request to the last form. It won't
redirect the client's browser but instead make the request
"behind-the-scenes" after which you could get the response and do
something useful with it.

It all really depends on what you want to accomplish.
