    Calling External File

    I am fairly new to PHP programming, and I'm trying to get my head around
    this one...

    I have a form that I am doing validation on via PHP within the same page
    (form.php), so if there is an error, a message will show to the user above
    the form. If all goes well, I would like to call a processing script that I
    have already set up and working to format the users response and send it out
    to a specified e-mail... I'll call it processing.php

    Is there a way that I can, if the form is filled out correctly, make a call
    to processing.php, that will totally leave control of form.php and do it's
    processing?

    I hope that I'm making myself clear...

      Sam,
      The way it is typicall done is you include a [back-arrow]form
      action=’’ method=post> in your page, you also have <input type=hidden
      name=processed value=’processe d’> in the code too.

      Now if someone clicks, you check on the same script page for
      $_POST[’processed’] and if it has the value ’processed’ then you start
      checking for errors. If no errors, then you can do a php "include"
      of the "processing.php ".

      Hope this helps.
