Submitting form data to a different server

[Msharma]

Hello all,
This is my first flirtation with PHP and I could use some help on this.
This is what I'm trying to do. I capture data from an HTML form and catch the data in a PHP script. Now I want to submit this data to another form on a different server. I would appreciate any help and guidance on how to approach this.

[HTML]<form name="survey_16 00" id="survey_1600 " method="POST" action="http://mel.afsc.org/photo_system/convio_catch.ph p">
<p>First Name:
<input type="text" name="cons_firs t_name" id="cons_first_ name" value=""
size="15" maxlength="50" />
</form>

</p>

<p> Last Name:
<input type="text" name="cons_last _name" id="cons_last_n ame" value=""
size="15" maxlength="50" />
</br>
</p>

<p>Email:

<input type="text" name="cons_emai l" id="cons_email " value=""
size="15"
maxlength="255" />

</p>
[/HTML]

I catch the form data here

<?php echo $_POST['cons_first_name']; ?>
<?php echo $_POST['cons_last_name']; ?>
<?php echo $_POST['cons_email']; ?>

Now I want to post this data to the form below. I was wondering if I could get any insight on this.

<form name="survey_1600" id="survey_1600" method="POST" action="http://secure2.convio.net/afsc/site/SSurvey"</form>

I have the same question. I'm not sure if I understand your reply. In my case, I have a form that collects some info, then I need to validate the form, so I pass the info to the php script and validate it. From there, I want to post the data to a different server (namely Paypal) without the user having to press the submit button on another form. Something like this:

<form method="POST" name="informati on" action="somefil e.php">
...Get information via $_POST or $_GET
...validate information

Information OK:
Post to "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"
information not OK:
Send user back to the information form and correct mistakes.

What, exactly, is the command and sintax that I use to pass the info to the Paypal form?

Thanks
