Hi jeevik,

I don't think it's possible to have two actions on one form.

Perhaps you couldpost the data to a page on your site, read the information in to your database (with all the uesual securoity checks) then forward the data on to the 3rd party via another, hidden form.

I think the second form would have to submit itself somehow.

Unfortunatley you are going to have come up with some sort of 'fudge' as one from = one actions.

Cheers

it is actually possible to send post data from php. saw an example a couple of days ago... should have bookmarked it (damnit!) but i believe it was hidden in some library in the php manual link

This is definately the way, unless you want to use ajax and then post to your own site upon submit

Hi all,

you could use javascript to trap the submit event, open a new window, make a call to a php script in the background to copy the data to the database and then process the submit of the initial form normally..

Hey Ronnil,

was it [PHP]HttpRequest::se tPostFields[/PHP] or [PHP]HttpRequest::se tRawPostData[/PHP] to set post data to be sent ?

another way of doing this is;
Submit your form values to your own script which writes the form values to the database tables, Once completed task, print the collected form values again to another dynamic form. And for the body onload event of the page you can submit this form with values to the 3rd party website.
