Sorry Jack -
thanks for the answer... I probably didn't explain it correctly.
>From page A users have a link to reach the gateway (via POST) leaving
my site (this opens a new browser page).
As soon as they leave the site, page A changes to another page let's
say B. The URL of page B is what I pass to the gateway to have the
answer back.
Users, once reached the gateway, application fill in their data and the
payment is processed. A confirmation/denegation page is shown and
that's it.
So page B should "wait" there for the gateway's answer... for example
reloading every x seconds using a Javascript REFRESH or something like
that. The script will process what in HTTP_POST_VARS...
while waiting B will output something like "Processing you payment.."
and when it receives the answer from the gateway it must update some
database table and display a final confirmation or output a
"transaction not successful".
Thanks
Gianluca
