How do i post the form data to different php files at once. I tried the
following code but it doesn't work. the data is sent only to the first
php file.

<form method="post" action="insert. php" action="mail.ph p">
Email<input type="text" name="email" value ="" size="20" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>

Yes, you just have to call the second script from the first. You could
try:

at the end of the first script---
header("Locatio n:
hxxp://your.domain.com/second_script.p hp?var1=$var1&v ar2=$var2");

....and then in the second script access the variables via $_GET['var1'] or
$_REQUEST['var1'] etc. But then you more than likely need the second script
to return back to the original page so you'll need another header() call
from there.

....or you could use the 'curl' extension (almost same effect)

....or you could just incorporate the two scripts together. chances are this
is your simplest solution.

Please note, that - using this method - you forward a GET request,
which is
restricted regarding the amount of data transferred. Moreover, you
might need to
change your PHP scripts to read $_POST and $_GET.

Re: posting form data to two scripts at once

A better idea might be to submit to the first script, which will then
also use cURL or fsockopen to make the POST or GET request to the
second script. You can even use SSL with the cURL library.

http://php.net/fsockopen
